Doing some work on my 85 ATC250r. I see there are a few options for aftermarket kits. Any experiences or recommendations?

Clutch: EBC-DRC, Tusk or Barnett? Or?
Gasket kit: K&S, Athena or Winderosa? Or?

I'd go Barnett on the clutch kit and I typically use Cometic gaskets, I've used both on everything from ATV to Harleys and have no complaints.

Really depends on what you're up to with the build and builder preference if you're not doing the work yourself. I just did my cr500 motor (same damned gasket and clutch companies, same motor just a smidgen bigger) and used Athena gaskets but a cometic top end kit and a honda OEM center case gasket. I have heard that Tusk and Barnett clutch set ups are fine though, and a good amount cheaper than another OEM basket/disks etc.

I have an EBC clutch in my R with no problems. I think it was the Dirt digger EP or something. The EP meant it has an extra plate.
I also did the clutch update kit. I used new oem clutch springs, didn't want to use the "stonger" springs that came with the clutch kit.
