Want To Buy 2010 FX450 stock clutch

Hey group. I just picked up a 2010 FX450 and got it running quite well but the clutch is slipping under higher loads. I think I would like to stick with the stock clutch but eliminate the judder spring. I know a lot of people convert to a rekluse or other aftermarket clutch so I'm hoping maybe someone has some extra stock parts laying around. Does anyone have a stock clutch that they are willing to sell?
Thanks!

Turns out the previous owner had installed a Rekluse clutch slave cylinder and had adjusted it too tight so that it was always pushing on the clutch pushrod and not allowing the clutch to fully close. I backed off the slave cylinder adjustment to give a bit of freeplay on the pushrod and the clutch is no longer slipping. I left the judder spring in for now but may still delete it in the future and put in a full friction disc.
 
Just a heads up on Rekluse clutches that they are not “set it and forget it”. They require periodic adjustments depending on how much/hard you ride. Check the free play “gain” at the end of the clutch lever with a heavy rubber band every so often to make sure you’re in the sweet spot.

You may find since you’ve backed the adjustable slave off, that once the engine gets good and hot, you may have too much or too little freeplay, and have performance problems with the clutch system again.

If you’re not familiar with the adjustment procedure, Rekluse should have the install instructions on their website as a PDF that includes this adjustment procedure.

Hi eeazye. Thanks for the heads up. I watched a few videos of the Rekluse adjustment process as I was researching my issue. My bike actually still has the stock manual clutch plates in it and the previous owner upgraded just the slave cylinder to an adjustable Rekluse cylinder. I have heard that the stock slave cylinders sometimes had issues so maybe that's why he upgraded it? Whatever the reason, he had it adjusted too tight so it never allowed the manual clutch plates to close with full pressure. I'm heading to northern Michigan next weekend for a dirt trip so fingers crossed my slip issue is resolved.
Thanks!
Jeff
