I found two friction plates cracked during my slipper install (R6) so now I gotta decide if Im just replacing those two plates (since this bike only has 2500 miles) or replace the entire pack. If I go the entire pack route what brand should I go with??? oem or aftermarket?
What kind of clutches do you folks recommend?

Not much of a mechanic and I don't know Yamaha's very well but, it sounds odd that only 2 friction plates were busted out of the whole plates... did u check the basket for any damage? I would believe so.
I know Honda OEM clutches are very good for regular street use so depending the use of the R6, I would probably suggest getting the 2 friction from yamaha and be done with it or try some cryo's from Barnett (if offered for the R6).

I have had great success with Barnett for sportbikes and cruisers. Depending on your skillls, time available and $$'s. I would try the plates first.XFBO said:
One of the other forums you frequent, the RC focused one (cough), has changed for the worst IMHO. Haven't posted there in over a year and only read it once in a while.
Remember to double check the serial numbers on your new plates or basket.

Personally I would go OEM with clutches, replaced one on my friend's F4i last season after he burnt it out at the quarter mile dragstrip.

All the others were fine. What exactly am I looking for on the basket? I gave it a quick scan as per RC90's advice but didnt see anything.Oh baby keep talking dirty to me!SportyChick said:
How cool is that guys? A woman who helps changing clutches.....WOW!Ive always heard good things about Barnett but would you believe Speedwerks made it loud and clear to me to stick with OEM or Vesrah for the R6.....I bought my Yoyo slipper thru him and he seems to know his **** soooo Im gonna follow his advice.
Thnx for the input everyone!

It was much worse then that! The guy who burned his clutch out was too scared/worried to ride the bike to a garage where myself and another guy could switch out his clutch. So I had to go pick up his bike, ride it myself with no clutch while he followed in my car. There was another guy riding with me as well, he didn't even want to ride the bike with the burned out clutch. Damn suck asses!XFBO said:Oh baby keep talking dirty to me!

I nearly did at one time relocate to the States, I was going to move to Denver but it fell through.
