What is the general consensus on a new clutch for the RZ. Stock motor with pipes. Ain't goin racing! Would prefer Yamaha stuff.

FZR 1000 fibers and I used EBC springs on mine. Make sure you get a new o-ring for the water pipe in the side cover, or you will end up with a transmission full of water, antifreeze and transmission oil mix (ask me how I know)

Thanks Tim, I'll be sure to replace O-ring!

I'll second the FZR plates. You can also go with 3 TZ clutch springs for more pressure (3 stock 3TZ springs). You won't notice the extra pull.

I was just going to post a similar question for my RZ's clutch, it was getting grabby last year.  Thought I remembered something about FZR clutch plates... I'll be picking up a set.  Good timing!  I believe I have 3 Barnett springs and 3 stock springs.  Will have to check lengths to see if I can re-use them.

And remember it's the same clutch as a Banshee, so aftermarket baskets, hubs, pressure plates are available...and I probably have spares if you need 'em
I post waayyy too much

Do Banshee pressure plate use RD400 or RD350 springs?
