    Stock 1150, OEM or after market clutch discs ?

    Would like pros advise on whether to go with OEM factory clutch discs & springs or after market for stock 85 GS1150. Not a matter of money, just what will work the best & what else I need. Thanks

    OEM all the way....don't believe the hype of after market clutch fibers.

      I use the Fast By Gast fibers in all my drag bikes & my street bikes with zero issues. Cheaper than from a Suzuki dealer too. I use the stock steels & just make sure they are flat.

        i tried gast plates and they was to aggressive on 1100/1150's.
        i always just paid more so as not to have headaches or customer's bitching about clutch drag....can't find neutral ect..

          That's interesting Terry. I have never had an issue with neutral with them in any of mine.
