you could buy the king cobra if you want to be replacing it in a couple months. two of my friends got to replace it after 3months of usage. i would recommend the centerforce dual friction since thats what i have used. its strong and has a soft pedal feel

I doubt it... the pilot bearing is not being used when you are not using the clutch...

ok 1st off... spec ftmfw... i have one, wont ever go w. another brand


2nd... pilot bearing isnt used w. the clutch pressed in? um... what???? try to rethink that... the shake to me sounds like the flywheel being a lil ****ed up, or the clutch bein messed up badly in one spot... either one would cause the shaking

dude, I never said it it isn't being used. You claim I said that the pilot bearing isn't used when the clutch is pushed in, I said it is not being used when the clutch is NOT pushed in. The pilot bearing assembly is spinning with the crank, with the clutch and the input shaft of the transmission. At this point it is NOT doing any work other than supporting the input shaft. At this point, the crank and the input shaft could be JB welded together for all that matters. The instant you push the clutch in and the clutch/input shaft is spinning at a different speed than the crank is when the pilot bearing rollers start to do their magic. How the hell could it cause vibrations when the clutch is not being used, but then all goes well when it is pushed in??
