Indestructible? | Carbon Up Armor Clutch Covers | How To Install and First Look

[@oOassassinOFyouthOo]

Just got one, saw your youtube video and it’s the only one i need to watch. Thank you again!! Your the man!!!

[@willeypoboy6052]

I'm running a auto clutch. The cover is more substantial than my stock. That carbon up looks like a nice peace! One thing that probably won't stop the break lever punching a hole but gives me a lil peace of mind is to cable the lever to your skid plate! Good to see you back in the saddle bro!

[@whiskeythrottleracing]

Good job, Kyle. Hope you never need it. I've smashed a couple of these covers over the years so when I saw this one I went to RMMC and bought one. They look trick, are bullet proof, and are easy to install.

[@Scottstunts]

Keeps us updated on how it’s been working out. I’m not a huge fan of the flat gasket design.

[@kevinherndon6963]

Looks great for impacts. I wonder how it will wear over time against boots. My stock KTM cover is almost polished from my boot rubbing against it.

[@brendanredler3666]

Half of the writing on mine is gone. Doesn't seem like a big issue though, it's still plenty thick.

[@noControl556]

The 18 XCW's have the longer bolt too, I learned this the hard way when putting a hinson cover on. Replacing the starter motor was a giant pain in the ass so be careful. I with this carbon one I was concerned with it warping a bit and causing leaks and not having as good of cooling as a billet Al cover so I just went with the tried and true hinson cover. plus it give the bike a factory look

[@BLSdarrin]

I wish somebody made an aftermarket cover for when running a Rekluse

[@MAXlMUS]

Carbon/resin has very poor heat conductivity, resin in fact is used as a heat insulation. Since clutch surface is a large heat diffuser - you must be increasing temperature a lot by Adding this. I would recommend aluminum cover and put some copper paste / other thermal conductive paste underneath the cover.

[@bradl45]

I love to ride in the back country, I armor up my radiators, and need to protect my clutch and Ign cover!! Ya, I tip over at times(usually would not make good youtube footage)

[@kronik2020]

True Story, I've done it myself.... although mine was so bad that the whole outer cover rotated and got the secondary too on my KTM 200 XC-W... Running all Hinson Racing Billet except basket now though

[@alexandru_mateescu]

I have a cover over the cover. I like that setup more

[@nathaneastham4451]

yeah looks pretty sturdy relative to other ones ive seen, one thing I was wondering was does it stick out any further than the original does?

[@brandonmorelli5145]

Kyle, to your friends that rode with no oil, how did their gearbox/clutch system hold up after that? Assuming the clutch plates would take the most of the heat, how did their gearboxes hold up?

[@rodie4352]

Just found a crack in mine last weekend. Looks like brake got into it. May need to give this a try.

[@rodie4352]

Ordered!

[@paulbarnett2083]

Looks really good, I really enjoy ur videos!! Where do u get the torque ratchet with the beeper on it that u used in the video and how much do they cost? Thanks looking forward to the next video!!!

[@NirHason]

I just got it too for my KTM EXC 300 17 . I should get it this week :)

[@oOassassinOFyouthOo]

I cracked my original cover.. I never noticed, got my bike out to load up into my truck for a ride and saw the crack woth oil everywhere.

[@soundslikeaplan841]

Hey Kyle if you ever find yourself in Australia, QLD we have to go for a ride! Love the vids man keep it up. I'm looking for a KTM 300 as we speak!!

[@Tarzan33]

Just installed mine on my new 300xcw. How's your rubber gasket holding up these days? Any issues?

[@blakeedwardson3066]

Been using this for about a year now. Seems to leak oil almost every 20 some hours and im having to put a new gasket in.

[@singletrack_king7700]

I've notice Slaven's channel does every review you do about 6 months later,hum looks like they take notice of your channel.

[@boblogIIIfan]

I have an 18 300. I broke the clutch cover, after i installed a new one, the starter motor stopped working. Apparantly one of the bolts is supposed to be shorter but with mine all 3 of the long bolts are the same length?

[@arnoholopainen]

Always had a spare, never needed on. Having a ready to race paper thin engine cover may give you problems with just boot wear.

[@brookepocyntyluk7993]

Just installed on a 2018 KTM 250XC having a problem with the rear break lever rubbing on it.

[@ktmdays]

I just got the cover i notice oil by the outside of the cover where the gasket is i dont know if its because i tip it over i torqued it down right any idears its a 2020 ktm excf

[@73rayman]

How do you like the AC delco torque wrench? I’m looking for one for my Ktm.thanks

[@kdxkyle]

I don't like that it uses a gasket instead of a rubber seal. Wouldnt do well being taken off multiple times

[@TylerParcell]

Can you use the same bolts from the bike? Or do they give you new ones.

[@ktmdays]

Do.u use the ome o ring with the ktm 500 excf and the gasket the cover came with

[@gvlogs7097]

I have a 110cc and I want a 65cc I’m 12 years old but I’m small and I just wanted too know if it’s a good purchase

[@mxrider2strokebraaap54]

Looks pretty cool!👌

[@bikermike]

0:22 sketchy KTM front ends seem to wash out way too easily.... an issue I have and been trying to get addressed on my 2017 xc250. My Honda can be pushed way way harder in corners without breaking front end traction.

[@bmwjoey25]

What year is your ktm?

[@bikermike]

17

[@poole0704]

What tire are you using?

[@bikermike]

@@poole0704 For me I think that was part of the problem in the terrain I was riding. The stock one was wider and had a different profile then what I use on the crosser. (stock tire may be good for the rocky stuff not sure though) I switched to more familiar geomax 52 intermediate. These bikes seem very sensitive to set up... been working with fork height and sag to get it working better but I think they are nimble handlers by design and sometimes that makes the front knife out more easily. (all just my opinion) but I have had a couple of these crashes myself too as well as a few more near ones. hahaha!

[@blazers12369]

True I’ve done the exact same thing already

[@gypsymanjeff2184]

Ok but what about ..cold freezing weather I'd think it would break much easier then the stock.thought about a case saver that can add heat but least can control that can't control cold..any facts on this???

[@jjjjjjjjrifufjssjosskenf]

gypsymanjeff 21 the oil and engine will keep it warm

[@brianh8484]

Check out Slavens racing website. The way he hammers on it make me think a bit of cold won’t cause a problem

[@douggardner3801]

Looks great.

[@mecalpsha4473]

Build Quality on KTM/Husqvarna is AMAZING !!!

[@xXRedEyedStrangerXx]

Mec Alpsha I just love the fit and finish of them, from how the fasteners look to the plastic quality and even just the way the throttle turns. Much better than any other brand I have tried

[@mecalpsha4473]

@@xXRedEyedStrangerXx I agree 100% - KTM/Husqvarna is the BEST!!!

[@stephen5665]

Carbon Up Armor is obviously paying him to endorse this.

[@DirtBikeChannel]

Not true.

[@ktmdays]

Mine leaked day I put it on my 2020 ktm excf sucks because I like it its stuff I installed it right torqued it down but leaked

[@Erez84]

I have 2 of them and both of them leaked since day one. But further more - they WARPED after a few monthes of usage and leaked bad. Waste of money.

[@minkah2157]

Good video!!

[@philprindle8145]

I have to know. Is the Yamaha flag a stab at the blue bikes? Kinda seems like it is since all your vids are about O bikes.

[@markmagness3693]

Why are you not an aftermarket parts guy?

[@m.m14433]

It's all bling, that's why. Waste of money. For example, is $1000 really worth it for an fmf exhaust system? Lmao for f no. Get your saftey stuff like knuckle gaurd, skid plate and that's that. Best upgrade you can do performance wise is good tires

[@mendyenduro8825]

That Hapen tomé today

[@mr.rm250rodneylynn8]

Do they make them for 08 RM250 2 STROKE?

[@douggardner3801]

Only KTM and Husqvarna now

[@adambatchelder4121]

Those are nice covers, however with it you are more likely to brake the case cover.

[@braap_biglunch]

15 hours on mine no leak

[@mxlunatic6063]

Well mine cover made from aluminium so i think im good

[@hreindustries]

most are made from cast aluminum or magnesium but doesn't hold up to impacts very well in offroad circumstances

[@ThomasWilliams-zo7ke]

[@ryanpetersonhardenduro1322]

These clutch covers are rubbish. They may not break but the fact they flex means your internals take the hits. I'd much rather break a clutch cover rather then bend or break a clutch basket

[@andrejskamla9736]

Exactly... I wanted to buy one, but after I read your comment, it changed my mind
