426 Complet Clutch on 400

[mikseven]

Hi all,

I'm considering to buy a complete WR426 Clutch (Basket, Center Hub, Pressure Plate, Spring, Push rods, actuator and plates).

 

Is it installable on a WR400?

 

I need to replace my Clutch due to eccessive wear and with the 426 it will be possible to mount the newest Rekluse Products.

 

Thank

Mik

Hi Rosedog, 

yes, it works.

 

You need to replace entire Clutch with the 426 model. Actuator, primary drive, hub, Friction/Drive Plates, pressure plate and springs.

If you need to install a Rekluse, only actuator, primary drive, Drive/Friction Plates are needed. Pressure plate and spring are not used.

 

If you find a Z-start pro is good enough. A core Exp is better.

Cheers mate. I brought a 2002 wr400 as a parts bike has a seized engine. Was just looking to see if the clutch was the same as 2002 426, but i think it is different. As far as i can tell it has 1 less plate and 1 less spring. So will continue to search i think. Thanks for your help.

Yes The 400 has a clutch with 5 Springs directly derived from xt & tt series. The parts are completely swappable. If you are lucky you can find a Rekluse z.Start, the 1st version. It works great. I ran some Italian Rally Championship Races without problems.

 

The only advantages of the 426 clutch is that you can use more recent Rekluse Systems.
