Advantages of a Clutch Cushion Kit

Great question—especially for riders who split time between the street and the drag strip.

The Clutch Cushion Kit offers several key advantages over just using the clutch mod and upgraded springs:

Performance Benefits:

• Smoother launches from a dead stop—especially helpful for drag strip takeoffs.

• Increased static clutch pressure, which helps reduce slip and improves MPH in racing situations.

• Improved clutch feel, giving the rider better control and feedback during aggressive launches.

• Extended clutch life by promoting more consistent clutch engagement and reducing wear.

Street Riding Impact:

• The Clutch Cushion is completely street-friendly—it won't negatively affect your daily riding experience.

• Engagement feels natural and smooth during stop-and-go traffic or casual cruising.

Installation Note:

• We recommend installing a new clutch cover gasket, although your current one may be reusable depending on its condition. If a replacement is needed, your local Kawasaki dealer should have one in stock.

If you’re looking to get more consistent performance at the strip without compromising street comfort, the Clutch Cushion Kit is an excellent upgrade.
