just get a ebc
I've heard mixed reviews. But the fact that i've heard complaints of it slipping right out of the box, and another case of it being almost gone after 5 rides, i wouldn't take chances on it when an ebc clutch kit is like 25 or 30 bucks more, and they're a good reliable clutch.

Did you take your plates out yet, how bad of shape are they? My boy just bought a EBC dirt digger w springs for $76 not sure how long it will last, I must say I've killed my stock clutch and it still going strong, all they need is strong springs and they last. Local Yamaha dealer sells the factory plates for $200, a bit high. Death lives by the DP clutch which will run like $165. Check out ebay see what they got.

I bought the tusk with the hd springs 2 years ago. After about 15 hard rides it was starting to slip... last winter i added a plate and it lasted for a little while longer now its slipping again. however for 36 bucks it was worth it i guess. But the thing that sucks is that if i ride hard and get it hot and use the clutch alot it start fading like crazy and i cant keep my clutch adjusted right. And it starts to slip at that point.

I personally like the factory clutch plates, I've put them through hell, but we'll see how they stand up to the 446.

I don't mean to jack a thread, but what are some signs of a clutch going bad??

your engine reving out easily when you change gears, not popping a wheelie when you dump the clutch. its something that you can just feel
when the clutch slips it sorta acts like your tires are spinning when they're really not. The engine will rev up more than it accelerates. Usually it gets worse as the engine gets hotter, and is more noticable at the top of the gears.
