Both kits are great. I ride with a 840 with Dalton & mine has Vjohns. The Vjohn did slightly better in testing But not enough for the Dalton owner to sell his and buy Vjohns. Look this was all started because somebody offered a strong opinion about one product & knocked the other. I never knocked the Dalton or did I give a opinion. Just something we felt like testing. So all I can say is CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG:laugh:
I agree I don,t see why we can't all get along, everybody has to make a living, does dalton make money sure the builder has to make money and they disribute it to the dealers like Todd and yes Todd has to also make money but on the other hand I have the vforce john mod but at 350.00 don't you think he is probally making very good money also and he should. But I think this thread has got to personal, and that is sad because I think everybody has positive input or products that can help all of us Teryx owners on the forum, I myself have bought from John at Interstate and Todd at Hunterworks and they both treated me great and was satisfied with their service and I will do business with both of them again, I am like KYWILDCATS74 I just wish we could all get along.

I remember whem john was doing the standard bore on his car. (u-tube vid ) Talking about the dalton kit would not do right. Shortly after he started working on his kit.Nothing arong with your kit ,but I belive it is not the cream of the crop. ( my opion my resurch )And with out a doupt 325 kit & 175 od plate is way to much money. But to you all I hope you all go that way. it will give me the ege in the woods. And todd is a good guy, does a lot . But he also is a high retail vendor. Hey guss what I am not going to makea dime off of the teryx. Built my 20 k car for about 14 k. Looking for deals and my own labor. And yes I have a VFJ clutch,and it rocks. And If you don't like what you got john will tweek it for you free. bend over bakward to help any of his coustmers. HEY THERE IS A RECESSION GOING ON. And sleepy get your car dialed in you will love it. Or call VFJ let him know what you don't like.
Well we do have free shipping!! LOL Also the prices are about the same when you buy in the packages plus you can always call in and get a deal.

Well,
I was away and was asked to have a look at this.We have had tons of great feedback since the day this clutch kit was released . This kit has been used and tested not only by us,but many other shops as well:

It has been used in magazine articles with great reviews,..it has been tested and used by Kawasaki USA and is listed as a Genuine Kawasaki Accessory with Kawasaki part numbers and many of the kits are sold that way through Kawasaki dealers...with great results.

...but not only that,it was also tested back in 2008 by VFORCEJOHN...

,,....here is what he said(posted actually) on this forum:



I installed the Kit in a Teryx. I ended up using the Dalton Or/Blue, 1 Screw in the weights and 2 light rivets and 2 of the heavier rivets. Stage 3 Teryx Spidermod and KEBC removal.

I dyno'd it about 30 times. it still had the stock exhaust. it brought the low end up massively. we used the stock 26 Maxxis Tires it came with

We ended up with 40.4 rwhp with stock exhaust and the endcap removed jetted 148-150. it was 35-36 rwhp 100% stock.

With my Brother sitting in the back it had no problem wheeling the machine. as when stock we could have had 5 people in the back and it would barely pop off the ground.

with no one in the back it would spin the tires for about 5 feet.

We couldn't tell top speed as it didn't have a Speedo. but I would suspect about 62-64 mph. It topped out at 58 100% stock on the dyno really pushing it to get there. and it went 69 mph with the cut clutch and the Dalton kit. the redline was hit at 7900-8000 rpm which I thought was a bit low.

the kit worked.

John



..Of course this was before VFJ had his own stuff.....

our weights in the kit are still the same (same ones that were tested by ALL these people above),..we have alternate ones that are described very well on our website for some race applications only with longer cams,etc...but has nothing to do with stock Teryx....

My point is this,
I see no need for slandering my products,myself,or my company to try to sell your products John. If you think our price is too high,great,that is your opinion,...if you have a problem with Todd at Hunterworks,that is not our problem,..if you want to sell your product,then sell it.

...but there are all kinds of real world "he said-she said" experiences out there with clutching from different companies I don't get on the net saying your stuff is no good,it is all wrong..."buy from me" ,..or any of that...so sell your products on their own merits and don't resort to this type of thing.

Dalton Industries.

Also a excellent post...

I think both products have a application...

Maybe we need a Clutch Vendor shoot out...kinda like the Suspension Shoot Out we just had...

I'm up for it...anyone else think we should make it happen?...:D

Why cant we all get along? But the FACT is that all the fighting is with HW VS VFJ OR HW VS FST OR HW VS DASA ETC! The problem here is Todd just look back at all the threads and Todd is always having a disagreement with somebody. Go look at 820/840 thread.

The man has an opinion just like everyone on the forum...as long as forum members stay within the limits of the forum rules? They can post whatever opinion they have on any given subject. THAT'S pretty much what the forum is for. The odds that everyone will have the same opinion on a subject are infinitesimally small...so play nice...
