I like my Marlin 1200lb clutch so far, but the pedal grabs really low. I haven't played with it yet to see if it's the clutch or just my truck, though.

Grabs really "low?" Do you mean like it grabs with the clutch pedal closer to the floor i.e. pushed in? that's usually the sign of a pretty good clutch.

How is the driveability of the ceramic? Ever drive your rig on the road?

Or the clutch pedal height needs adjusting. That's a simple fix, if so.

Yep, I have to push the pedal all the way down to get full disengagement of the pressure plate, and the clutch engages within an inch or two of the floor. It's kinda hard to drive, although I've gotten used to it.

Can that much difference be remedied by adjusting the pedal height? I saw some diagrams for that a while back but never got a chance to get under there and play with it.

Higher clamping at lower RPMs means less slipage so I would go with Marlin and learn to keep the RPMs down. It'll help save gas to.
Ya thats probably one thing i should learn to do but its way to much fun and easy to do. I think Marlin has my vote. How hard is it to replace the clutch myself?





Anyone interested in a '01 Yamaha ttr-125
