One of my employees has a 2 stroke kit on his bike (his only form of transportation) and puts lots of miles on it. he's very mechanically inclined on small engines and usually just orders a new engine kit when it goes out, but wants to see if he can get a replacement clutch kit. he needs a good one if anyone makes such.
Who makes a long lasting replacement clutch?

clutches rarely wear much if they are used right (not trying to get rolling from stand still) and adjusted so they aren't slipping on every hill
a set of 15 new pads is usually cheap when needed
I've only sold one set of pads in the last 5 or 6 years.

You can get 10 sets (150 pads) for $14.00 delivered. Larry

You can also make your own. NAPA has brake/clutch lining material you can buy by the foot. Cutting it out is a pain, but they last forever.
I have one set I used in about ten different motors, put thousands of miles on the street, and about ten races where I slipped the clutch constantly. Woulda killed regular fibre pads, but the NAPA ones are still good. Hardly any wear after all this time.

I bought a foot long strip of high strength friction material from mcmaster carr and used a hacksaw and file to make the pads. I don't remember the thickness I bought but what I can tell you is the material is VERY durable and the metal components will probably die before they do https://www.mcmaster.com/#friction-material/=1bz3d2a
