Post by jmmillerfzr »

I have a set of cryogenic aluminum clutch plates I picked up some years back. I am wonderinf if anyone has used something similar? Any pros or cons? Any recommended clutches?

great in a race bike ...not so great in a street bike.
You need to change the oil every couple hundred miles or the oil becomes very contaminated with alum oxide...

I thought I had read that before. I'm still undecided If I'll screw around with them or offer them in the classified section. This will be the first summer in many years that I won't have school taking up my time and I can finally get the bike put back together and add a few pieces I have been collecting over the years.

Any idea what kind of performance increase you can really expect with something like this?

nothing you can see on the street. They are for racing and dragracing so the motor will spin up a little quicker
Might get you a half tenth at the dragstrip

It's not the Cryo process....it's the alum clutch plates.
