250F 2007 Yamaha WR 250F Clutch Replacement

[Rack]

Going to replace the clutch on my sons bike. I am finding a wide range of pricing on clutch kits starting as low as $44.95 for the Tusk brand from RMATV to $165.99 for an OEM kit from yamaha.

Does any here have any experience with the "Tusk" brand from RMATV? Where do you buy your clutch kits?

Um,
Why don't you just put a cheater clutch in it like the "OLD MANS" bike?

He is a stud and does not need it.

I've run a Tusk and it worked. It's not as good as a an OEM clutch. However, I have no problems with how it works and I feel that the price performance ratio is superior. I even have a second fresh one ready to go in the bike when needed.

Does the 07 WR have that tapered washer at the back of the clutch basket that caused problems with previous models or did they finally find out it was causing the clutch dragging problems. I'll try and post up a piccie if you aren't sure what I'm talking about. I bought my 06 WR250F fairly cheap as the clutch was shocking and took the chance I could fix it along with the steering head bearings. I took this washer out and changed to a Barnett clutch and it works great. It is part 14, spring clutch boss which was the problem.

It seems they did continue using the part I mentioned.

Ive heard lots of good things about the tusk thru the years for the price as cleonard said. I will be at work today if you want me to order another brand for you.

I would use a tusk, as mike, jax and many others have vouched for it.

Rack, I put the Tusk in mine and like it fine. I am hard on it too with all the hills I fall down on and I work the dickens out of it too, two seasons so far and it still works great. For 45 bucks you can buy three sets compaired to a barnett and since its only a half hour job to change you can't go wrong IMO!!

My son has done all of the work taking his bike apart. Here is a picture of the clutch that he took out of it.

Looks tasty. Once he slaps the new plates in, I will need to find tight, rocky canyon to have him break the plates in at...

Trying to figure out how the cushion spring goes back in.

It is not flat it is angled. Can you tell from this picture?

Must have figured it out, either that or Yama_dawgg is riding the 140 this week.
