To settle all confusion...

[danjerman]

I'm in the middle of a rebuild and have come to the point of replacing the clutch. I have searched many times through DRN for what brand of clutch kit to buy, but my results were inconclusive. EBC, Barnett, DP, OEM, all have mixed reviews on being great or horrible. Some even said that some mfg's clutch plates have cracked in the past, but now I really don't know what to think. I would like to request the assistance of you guys to help me make a sound clutch kit purchase. The bike is a 1991 KX250 if it makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

I have always had my best results using oem

I used OEM on my 1990 KX250 with no problems-too many people seem to have major hassles with non oem that i would think its not worth the trouble.

OEM work good for me.

Another vote for OEM

yep OEM is the way to go, i bought some barnett steels for my yz but decided not to put them in and took em back. they didnt look to good.

OEM all the way. I bought aftermarket one time and will never make that mistake again.

 

[darringer]

OEM. Never had a problem with fit and quality of parts.

No question about it OEM,you will not like the clutch pull with the after markets springs either.

danjerman,

There's a company called KG Clutch Factory(the worlds largest clutch manufacturer) and what they sell in aftermarket under the KG Clutch Factory name is the same thing you can get as original equipment at a fraction of the cost. I know any Parts Unlimited dealer can get the KG products.
