You must be the only shop to carry the steel/friction plates without the basket and everything else. I might have bought those if I knew they were available. Are you sure they aren't the Barnett kit?

100% OEM Victory. I stock them. I have a few customers that need them right away, Noe, JL Accelerated, Badmouth bikes are just a few of the business' that I supply Victory parts for.

Thank you for doing all you can to help out your Victory family @NHKingpin

I now realize where my confusion was. These steel and friction plates are $650 regular retail price, but less through you of course (thank you).

I was thinking, due to the price, that it had to be the full clutch basket already assembled and ready to install. That item is almost $1200 retail.

Note: It's getting really hard to find a site that shows the parts and lets you order direct from Polaris. Powersportswarehouse.com is all fubar'd now. The others are just gone.

If anyone knows of any others besides these two, please post the link so I can bookmark them.

The new Powersportswarehouse website is most certainly odd now. Some prices are ‘normal’ and some are well above full msrp at VictoryMotorcycles.com.

@NHKingpin is never confusing or fubared. It’s always a very pleasant transaction.

Yeah, their website is unusable on my computer browsers. It worked before then they did something that ruined it.

Seems Barnett or stock is the choice these days for our bikes. Alto is no longer making clutches for Victory. Too bad as I like that company. I did run into this company and wondering if anyone has had experience using these. View attachment 654048

OEM is a known excellent clutch. Even Rylan says he regularly sees 100K+ miles on an OEM Victory clutch.

The only problem with the OEM clutch is the factory detent spring. It wasn't made tough enough and it looses it's pressure resistance after time. My shifting problem started luckily and the mid to late fall of the year and I checked all these forums I research everywhere I could to try to figure out what the problem was and nobody knew what time and it was pretty much after I bought the school up the Barnett scorpion clutch and all them shifting mechanisms as when I figured it out when you couldn't buy the detent spring through any victory dealer anything it was discontinued that that was the problem from the start. It's been about 4 to 5 years now since I did all that work and twice in that time frame it started having shifting problems again so once again had to pull the primary cover off and is turned out being that the shift star bolt as loosened up and that's fixed it again last year and I put the red lock tight to it not the blue like I had been doing but besides that that's the only problem I've ever had on my 2006 Victory Vegas jackpot with close to 50,000 miles on it.
I spent a whole season trying to figure out why my 2006 Victory Vegas jackpot would lock up in 5th 6th gear ended up buying a replaced everything I put a Barnett scorpion clutch in it I replaced all the mechanisms for shifting right there the shift star the bottom replaced it all and at the time you couldn't even get the factory detent spring had to get it through different company and that little Detent Spring with shipping cost me over a $100

Then explain bikes like my CCT and many others. 100K+ miles on an OEM clutch in a bike with cams etc with significantly higher Hp and Trq numbers than stock..

Does real world experience say the OEM clutch needs help on a stock Victory or one with intake, exhaust, tuning and engine work? No. But theoretical bench racing and Internet forums often make those claims. As well as people using the wrong oil or who have an improperly adjusted clutch.

Rylan Vos told me this years ago regarding my CCT. OEM is perfectly fine in my heavy CCT with the go faster parts he installed.

If you’re running the old 116” kit or the, IMHO the better and vastly improved 117” kit: then absolutely 100%, you need to upgrade the clutch. Again, Rylan told me that the day he installed go faster parts and dyno tuned my CCT. He recently released a video regarding this and his new and improved clutch for big bore bikes.

Otherwise? No, OEM works fine. My personal example is one of many, it’s not one of a small number. If the OEM clutch is fine on a heavy CCT, it’s even better on a CC, a CR or a Steel frame Victory.

Ride more, worry less.

Pro Tip: contact @NHKingpin for your Victory parts. You’ll be glad you did.

My bike is one of those with 97,000 miles and over 94,000 with cams and tune! Clutch is still fine for now. I did contact NH for pricing on clutch plates and gasket. I'll have to wait until July or August to pull the trigger on that expense. Glad I almost never have to fix anything on this bike, because the clutch pack is pricey. IMHO.
When I had Rylan install my cams and tune 12 years ago, I really felt a big bore kit was in my near future. Rylan's comment "I'll tell you Barry, with the cams and tune done, most will never install a big bore" . He was right, would I like more power, Sure, do I need it, no. This Cross Roads is pretty darn QUICK! And I ride with some fast company!

So true. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Rylan Vos. He’s as honest, knowledgeable and willing to share his accumulated knowledge as can be.

Sure, I’d like a 117” kit on both my bikes. But I don’t make or have ‘FU’ money. Therefore I simply can’t justify the total cost of a 117” build. Let alone two of them.

I had thoughts of removing the PCV and the Lloyds timing wheel installed on my CCT. I just can’t justify the $800+ cost of a Maximus tune replacement on the bike. if the PCV goes bust, ok. But just to do it, nope.

If I ever hit a lottery jackpot, you’ll know. Because both bikes will go to The Vic Shop for a 117” build.

You might be talking about these guys. http://factorypro.com/Prod_Pages/prodVictory.html Website is dead. I think it was a good product. My Magnum had very little mileage and so i went through the shifter linkage binding at first and some very questionable shifting....jumping out gear around 1 or 2 sometimes. All things factory pro and their roller/spring promised to solve. Well in time my problem was solved after breaking in the drive train. My first year was around 10k and i think most of these shift issues are gone. With Spectro shifting is smooth enough and I have no complaints. No jumps out of gear and part of that is breaking old habits imo. I never applied hot head tactics on the shifter like some have. I have also gone back to 4000 mile oil changes.

What polaris did? they tightened up the slop ( side to side ) on the shifter shaft so the oil plug crush washer is no longer needed. I think this would solve anyone's issue...with a new spring too.

 

[shoman94]

What year did that new shifter shaft get updated and included in the production?
Are the Factory Pro parts still available?

 

[Rollinwind]

It was in the winter.....it was either 2019 or 20. Officially....the part number changed in all the fishes.

Dont know them but it appears that the website is working again. Let us know how it goes.

Oh so that would be something I could upgrade this Spring then. I have seen some oddities at time with shifting.... Like staying in the same gear when shifting or hitting neutral first to 2nd ... Both at 5500 rpm shift changes. Are the shift kits from factory pro still available?

 

[Rollinwind]

I bought a new polaris spring and shifter so if I ever go in those will get replaced. Welp 5500 rpm anything can happen. Something else can happen at 3000 but im not saying it in public. IDKS 🙊

Thanks to the very courteous help from @NHKingpin, my OEM clutch parts, plus a couple other items, are inbound to me. I’ll need to make room on my ever expanding ‘Parts Shelf’. I call it a parts shelf but in reality, Victory parts are taking over my office. And also some of the attic as well. From a storage space standpoint, just buying another used Victory would be vastly more efficient.

Thank you Ed!

That’s a great idea, being insured & all, ur calling really is in sales, you’re convincing me anyway haha
