I have been running a ZX12R engined stuart taylor trouble free for a few 1000 miles now, It's an early 2001 A1 engine which is renowned for clutch isssues. I was wondering if anyone knows of a zx12r bec suffering a clutch basket failure. I like the idea of a Muzzy billet clutch basket for peace of mind, It would certainly make that tyre warming burnout at santapod less worrying. But has anyone had a standard A1 clutch basket problem? and is there a UK stockist of muzzy billet clutch baskets as by the time you have paid carrage etc from the states you are nearly up to the price of a replacement bare engine. Im trying to weigh up if its worth fitting one or maybe waiting for a spare engine at the right price to come up.

Many thanks in advance

its worth every penny i have the clutch basket and the lock up its the muts nuts a must if you like to hold the zx12 engine together but it did cost me a bomb muzzy parts are very very well made

Cheers, Im thinking of just getting the basket, drilling the centre boss and swapping 3 of the springs. Is there a UK distributor for muzzy stuff or is it a case of go direct and get what you pay for, the engines only stock but the standard basket looks skelital in comparison to the billet jobbie

you are best shipping 1 in your self as i did direct from muzzys as for the standard 1 it is very much like a cheap cast basket also get clutch springs from ryan scnitz racing or tim blakemoor racing he mite help you with all the parts cheers paul http://www.timblakemoreracing.co.uk/index.html also good parts here http://zxzone.com/

Martin at MK Engineering has exploded a clutch basket and is now onto his 2nd one, TTS used to sell billet clutch baskets, i'd also give BIG CC Racing a call, or Holeshot Racing, most of the big bike tuners and drag bike specialists will probably be able to help you.
