212cc Clutch

[mattp98]

I was wondering if anybody knows any good clutches for a four stoke engine. It will be for a 212cc predator engine on a beach cruiser bike. Any recommendations for an affordable and reliable clutch?

Depends entirely on the shaft size. There should be several brands of centrifugal clutch available well as a manual (from what I hear) if it ever reaches full production.
You could also go with a CVT drive. The big 212cc is a torque monster and the CVT really rips.
Google GoKart racing clutches as well. There's lots of choices.

I think they went out of business on the Downs manual clutch, doesn't surprise me because they didn't offer a way to replace the clutch linings or wear surfaces when it gets spent and it cost a lot.

The site's down.

Figures.
See what I mean? I'm 50 years old and I'm still waiting for a working manual clutch for small engines. The manual clutch is the single biggest reason I build china girls.
My heart is broken once again.

I used the Bully clutch from AGK. 3000 miles and no problems.

I have tried many clutches and the latest one that I feel is the best is made by Bully. It was designed with the help from Pat @ Sportsman Flyer. Single disk, low RPM stall and smooth as silk. Available in 5/8 shaft and 3/4. My #1 choice.

That link works fine for me. I already have one downs clutch, and it works as advertised.

The lining is replaceable. So far wear is not an issue.

The way to keep things on the market is to buy & use them.
