Does anyone have experience using a tusk clutch kit? I use some Tusk stuff and have been happy with it but for clutches I’d normally use OEM parts. In this situation it’s for my gf’s YZ125 and while she rides decent she’s far from super fast so I was thinking of going with the Tusk parts as it’s about half price.
Thanks guys.

I’ve used a lot of other Tusk stuff with no issues.

I have had no issues with the competition kits.
I would really like to know if the people who have had bad results are using the standard kits?
You can get the OEM clutch as a kit for a real good price. In my experience with YZ125's and 250's nothing holds up better for the money. This one comes with the springs, fibers, steels and a gasket.

However, Tusk claims their competition kit uses a more heat resistant Aramid fiber material instead of the cork compound in the standard kit. We have been reluctant to try the competition kit based on the previous experience with the standard kit. We suspect that the competition fiber plates might actually be standard plates with a little Aramid infused into the compound, but maybe not.
For those individuals who have actual experience with the Aramid competition kits, particularly in comparison to the standard kits, please continue to chime in.
Which kit are you referring to? The standard? The competition? Both?
