for stunting...aftermarket clutch or OEM

ok i have a 2001 GSXR750, my clutch is starting to slip and it doesnt have the torque it use to have at the jump of the wheelie because the clutch is slipping. my question is should i go with an aftermarket clutch or an OEM stock clutch? its going to be used for stunting so would that aftermarket clutch be a little too rough for stunting (slow wheelies). what are the pros and cons for both? what im really asking is just fill me in on what i should get...and if you guys recommend aftermarket can you recommend a manufacturer and type (compound)? thanks

Well, I have used both on my 02 750.
What I have learned is Barnett plates are great but stock plates are good but more expensive.
No matter what plates you put in, you have to adjust the clutch cable and push rod, precise or they burnout in no time.
Stock springs loose their tightness fast, so replace them if you have 10000 miles or more. Barnett springs are great but damn the arm pump in about 5 mins.
Learning to adjust the cable and push rod will save you money

My stock clutch was good for about 17,000 miles, and I changed engines before I changed clutches.

PS-Stock is best, check ebay they have them for pretty cheap.

if you get a stock clutch do you have to adjust it? or is that just for the aftermarket clutch? and if you have to adjust the stock clutch, how do you adjust it precise ?

do you have to adjust the OEM clutch, yes or no? or can you just throw the clutch right in, because OEM is now my choice
