Hinson Clutch Baskets are stronger; wear longer, lighter and machined to enhance the oiling of the clutch
Notes on stock clutches:
Stock clutch baskets are cast aluminum without any coating; under severe stress they can break sending pieces through your engine.
Stock baskets are also prone to premature wear from the fiber plates; resulting in numerous side affects effecting clutch life, clutch wear, engine performance and overall reliability
What does a 7 plate clutch mean?
The clutch's size is generally coded by the number of fiber (drive) plates that the clutch has. Driven plates (steels) are always 1 plate less than fibers.
Most machines have a 7-plate design (but a few models come stock with 6 fibers or 8 fibers)
Adding a fiber and steel plate to the original clutch design, gives the engines clutch, the ability to handle additional horsepower while prolonging clutch life
