which clutch pack to buy

[kilog55]

i need to replace the pack in my 850 which one should i get DK lists 2 Vesrah and EBC whats the difference and which one should i buy.

i currently have no engagement in the trans

My opinion is the Vesrah is lower quality & the EBC is the way to go if you don't want or can't afford Suzuki plates. Do NOT EVER use the Barnett "Extra" plate kits as they will damage your clutch hub. Even if ti takes awhile, it will cause damage! I am a fan of the stock Suzuki plates as they last the longest. I am a drag racer & abuse them as good as anyone & stock lasts! Ray.

Are you sure it's the clutch? No engagement at all it probably isn't the clutch.

well the linkage moves freely so it isnt the cable when i put it through the gears i can "feel" it going in each gear but i can release the clutch and nothing happens. so i am assuming that the clutch is fried

Or the driveshaft.

Did you check the link Chef provided for you? It details the same problem (most likely).

If you do open the clutch, measure everything to make sure it's still in spec, and break the varnish off of everything with 220 grit sandpaper. Unless your clutch has been severely abused, you probably don't need to replace it. No need for insurance, test it to see if it's good. If it's good, save the cash.

ok so i put the bike up on its center stand and tried to hold the shaft like in the thread posted but i could not the shaft engages if i stop it at the wheel it is still trying to "roll" forward. so to me this would be the clutches right? if i go through the gears it slows way down if i give it throttle it just raises the RPMs of the motor.

appreciate the help thus far

Get out your wrenches and a camera. Open up the clutch cover and use BassCliffs guide to remove the rear wheel. If youre not sure what youre lookin at post up the pictures.
