"Increased flywheel effect of steel plates improves power spread"

"Flywheel effect" is adding physical weight to the rotating assembly (crank/flywheel), making the engine rev slower and smoother. More weight can take an "explosive" power delivery (like a high strung 2 stroke MX bike for example) and make it feel like a street and trail 4 stroke.

That's a real simple explanation, but unfortunately adding a steel plate (that weighs next to nothing) won't do jack squat for flywheel effect. Call it Tusk propaganda. The added clutch face surface area is a small plus for longevity though.

Avoid the tusk kit. When it comes to clutches the old saying "You get what you pay for" rings true.

Ok I know you already decided on oem but for futer reference kevlar hooks up the best but won't last for squat 6 months is good for a daily rider quark are second best at hooking up but will hold for forever I love the driveline kit best clutch I've ever run!! I run them in blastys warriors and kfx's and anything else that needs a clutch kit
