KTM 50 High Performance Clutch Basket

After perusing through the laundry-list of products that have passed through my hands while putting these blogs together, I realized that we hadn’t done much in the way of mini-parts. The kids are the future of our sport so why not find a part that can seriously improve the performance of their bike? Mom and Dad will like this part too because it’s something that can keep extra money in their wallet!

The part I’m talking about is a high-performance, high-flow clutch drum that boasts better clutch performance for the KTM 50s with improved longevity.

It’s no secret that the KTM 50 clutch basket has had some nagging issues over the years. Initially, the stock hard parts drum and transmission gear on the back were pressed together until problems started to arise with the gear spinning in it’s position in the drum. Then, double tack welds were added to try to alleviate this problem but still, it persisted. Now, a solid weld surrounds the gear on the back of the drum but there is also another solution, a better one.

From the ingenious people at Dune Devil Inc. in Minnesota, comes a light-weight, one-piece, billet clutch drum that totally eliminates the possibility of the back gear spinning—no more replacing your drum time and again for the same unresolved issue. On top of solving a long time aggravation, this clutch drum dramatically improves the performance and longevity of a well maintained clutch. By increasing oil flow—which was another area that could be improved upon—all of the clutch components stay cooler and better-lubed, increasing the life and performance of your existing clutch components.

Another, benefit of the light-weight drum is that it disengages quicker because it reaches high RPM at a quicker rate. By doing this, it releases the clutch shoes faster, which will allow the bike to accelerate quicker and will, again, increase the longevity of your clutch overall. With all of these benefits—which are great for the trail or the track—you’d think this clutch drum would come with a hefty price tag. That’s not the case this time!

For under $40 more than a stock drum, you can increase the performance and longevity of your machine, and save yourself the irritation of having to replace the same part again in the future. Get your Dune Devil high-performance clutch drum today!
