Lighter Flywheels & Slipper Clutches

[Dallara]

Okay, Folks.

Here's a couple of questions I hope the collective wisdom of the board won't mind offereing their thoughts, suggestions, and opinions on...

1.) Lightened Flywheels - specifically, what brand, weight, etc. do you most recommend or use, and why?

2.) Slipper Clutches - same question - What do you use or recommend, and why? But add to that, any further recommendations on clutch plates, friction materials, specific springs, bolts, retainers, spring stabilizers, etc.?

Also, any other advice, suggestions, do's, don't's, good or bad experiences, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Dallara

Don't have a slipper clutch, but flywheel -- Nichols. Period.

It is amazing they don't come factory with these flywheels.

Beautifully made, fit / finish 11/10.

The stock flywheel feels like an antiquated piece of unnecessary metal.

If you're in the market for a slipper and your budget allows, then I recommend the Suter Racing clutch. It's by far the best you can get and in the long run it turns out to be cost effective too! I would also suggest you match it with a 48T clutch basket and sintered plates, this combo is IMHO the best.

I've installed a Corse 4-spring slipper clutch in a Hypermotard S along with STM slave cylinder and springs lighter than the supplied Corse red springs. This clutch is like butter - very light clutch pull and great modulation on corner entry.

Definitely my preferred setup for the Hypmo.

Thanks, Folks!

Please keep the info and suggestions, etc. coming! I really appreciate it.

Mr. CorseMoto,

I really appreciate the picture, but could you also be a bit more specific regarding your set-up and perhaps provide some more detail... like where you got your clutch, which "lighter" springs, etc.???

Thanks!

as long as you're going to put in a clutch, you might as well pop out the primary gear and have that lightened.
