#2Suter is the best, sigma the cheapest (in my humble opinion)

#3Hi Mate. It always seems to come down to the Sigma or the Suter.

Personally, I have a Suter and have no complaints - it's a fantastic bit of kit and despite what you will be told, (and I thought so too before having one), it will make it's presence felt on fast road riding as well as track times. I would not willingly go back to not having one.
Good luck!

#4+30k road plus race miles on my Sigma with no problems - recent check also indicated little/no wear - Neil Spalding also been always very helpful with me, though others may disagree...........

#6Unless you are a "backing it in, track day god" I would suggest that your clutch will not last much less than a normal one. The slip is minimal and only happens on severe downshifts. Depends on what kind of riding/rider you do/are really.

#9If you are in the States, the Yoydyne is like the Sigma although I have been recently informed that they are not the same.
The KTM/Suter is tits and I loved mine much better than the Yoyodyne.
I am suggesting here that you scour the internet and possibly wait for one to appear on eBay.
You should be able to get one for $800 or less. The dealers sell them for $1500 I think.
Still worth the extra $500 or so over the Yoyodyne, IMO.
On the subject of wear. My clutch pack barely wore at all in two years but the pressure plate and other hard parts of the Suter/KTM wore down in less than one season.
The Yoyodyne was taken out after 5 race weekends or so and looked brand new still.
