i am considering getting a manual clutch for my bike and am looking for something not to expensive. i am considering the tb kit ... ya or nay?

 

[Pimpindahoes]

hmm...its great for the price but i am gettin rid of mine.......not what i want.....im going takagawa.

 

[Phat50s]

Why is it not what you want?



How is the Takegawa better?

what motor are you building? 88? 108? 117+?



The TB clutch will be fine for anything up to 108. Over time, with any high-performance motor, you will eventually wear out clutch packs or discs and will have to replace them, just as you do a car clutch.

 

[gomerpile2525]

but the disks are like 10$ lol

its not what i want because it runs of the crank and also its gear ratio is too much top end.....i just want a big bike style cltch not run of the crank one that has WAY more feel than the TB....the TB is almost like an on off switch......but for the 150 bucks...it has done its job for sure!

same here i am getin the takegawa 5 disc setup that run off the primary shaft , classic honda has them for the stock style tranny witch is good cause i got a 4 speed and with the TB clutch or any clutch that style you just dont get the best feel out of them

 

[gomerpile2525]

so where is a big bike syle manuel clutch?

For the price the TB clutch works great and you really cant beat it. Unless you are building the absolute fastest motor possible then you dont need anything more than the TB clutch. The main advantage of the Takegawa 5 plate clutch is that it comes off the primary and will let the bike rev faster.

"dont need anything more than the TB clutch"



i would have to say that thats the most untrue thing youve ever said.

i run it...yes for 150 dollars the operation of the manual clutch is ok. but if you want anything better than average i wouldnt go this route. also there are plenty more main advantages of the TG clutch. truth is that you cant even compare the two......the TG blows away the TB clutch in every performing aspect.

TB wins in the cost category and ease of install. thats it!



tell me what you wanna tell me i know what makes what better and what doesnt.....and jetster....you dont have a chance winning this one.



sorry man...TB loses here.....face it.

thats a real clutch.



also just to point something out. stock crf/xr clutch packs are 3 disc packs.........TB manual setup is a 2 pack setup....... 8O

 

[camMCLEAN]

I have the close ratio Takegawa superclutch in mine and its killer.



we have had the Takegawa clutch on the 117SE motor since the day it was built, and when we tore it down, the clutch plates look like new. if your going for the best, the Takegawa definetly takes the prize.

Pimpin you either didnt read what I said the right way or just took it wrong. I didnt say the TB clutch really compared to the Take as it doesnt. What I ment is that for the average person, who doesnt have $800 to blow on a clutch, but would still like the advantage of getting off the gate better and better corner speed by keeping up the rpm's the TB clutch is the better option. Im not gonna lie, I would kill to have a Take clutch but theres no way in hell I could afford it, so I make due with what I got. You gotta admit though that for the price, and only being a 2plate off the crank clutch it does work very well.

 

[50rider340]

i agree and im pretty sure i could buy a hole other 50 brand new out the door for 1044 bucks and some spare change around the house. I agree with jester for 2 plate it definitly gets the job done well all know we would love to have the TG clutch but most dont have the cash.

 

[DirtySouthRacing]

Hmm..maybe TB needs to come out with something a little more top notch to compete with the TG but not with the infamous TG price tag?



I smell a marketing compaign.

 

[bansheedude]

ya i think the tb clutch is for me because im only pushin a take88 no head and couldent afford the take clutch being 14 with no real source of income. thanks for the input

exactly what your saying.

then i said get the Takagawa clutch if you want a "real" clutch. hefty price tag...but if thats what you want.....go for it.



i just think that most people would want to not go cheap on the clutch.....i personally think thats one of the most importantt things on the bike. if i dont like the clutch, the way iot feels or works, im not going to like riding the bike. maybe its just me but clutches i get picky over. if its not perfect then it annoys me. and the fell in the TB clutch annoys me.

that and that alone is enough for me to not like a clutch. but i still run it cause i havent decided to dump the 1000+ into my tranny and clutch. so for now...its the TB clutch.

i dream about that TG clutch all the time!! im droolin about it now.



TB HELP!

*edit*

banshee dude......definitly go TB on a budget or for the backyard basher. youll be way happy with it.

 

[Jetster220]

Lol Pimpin you are picky j/k.

 

[p3racer]

takegawa makes one for the stock style tranny thats hold more hp than the tb and its the same style as a tb clutch but it has a way better clutch ass. and the quality is just 10 times better and its only about 60 bucks more or you can get the clutch that runs off the primary shaft for a stock tranny for about 7 bills made by takegawa but I aint had any problems with my tb clutch in my 110 stroker i just dont like the feel of it

 

[Jetster220]

Uh, KAOS from the pictures Ive seen the new Take clutch your talking of looks no differnet than the TB. In fact it doesnt come with new primaries or anything. Also its $100 more than the TB, according to the price listed on TwoBros.
