Hinson: clutches and components for your motorcycle

Hinson Clutch Components was founded in 1992 by Wayne Hinson. The brand specialises in clutches and components for motorcycles and ATVs. Its official catalogue includes clutch assemblies, baskets, hubs, pressure plates, plates, springs and covers. This focus lets you explore the parts involved in the operation and maintenance of the assembly.

At Motarea, you can start with the family you need and then examine the specific part number. Identify the engine, clutch configuration and part you are replacing. An outward resemblance between components does not guarantee interchangeability: check the application, installation and stated contents of each product.

Assemblies, baskets, hubs and pressure plates

Clutch assemblies allow work involving different components. Check what each part number includes before choosing: a hub and pressure plate assembly and a complete clutch kit address different needs. Also check which elements of the existing assembly must be retained and which are replaced.

Baskets, hubs and plates perform different functions within the clutch. Compare the splines, fastenings and matching of the parts that work together. The Hinson clutch components category also lets you browse other part numbers for this area. Do not choose a component solely for its finish or a similarity in shape.

Plates, springs and basket replacement parts

Under friction plates, steel plates and springs, you will find options for renewing the clutch pack components. Check the number and type of plates, their thickness, installation order and spring specifications for the part number. Follow the preparation, lubrication and installation instructions applicable to the product and vehicle.

Clutch basket cushions and backing plates are different replacement part families. Before working on them, check the receiving basket, its fastenings and the intended procedure. A plate with screws and a set of cushioning elements do not have the same contents; confirm what you will receive and the components needed to complete the job.

Covers, accessories and installation tools

Clutch covers must match the housing and its mounting points. Check the installation requirements and sealing elements needed for the application. Under fasteners and oil filler caps, you can find other Hinson replacement parts; always check the thread, dimensions and installation position of each part.

You can also view the clutch cable bracket and the clutch holding tool. Before dismantling, make sure you have the right tool and the technical instructions for the application. Observe the specified tightening torques, clearances and lubrication requirements. Your choice should take account of the installed assembly and the work you will actually carry out.

Slipper clutches and specific components

The Hinson range also includes BTL slipper clutch solutions. Their function and configuration differ from those of a clutch basket, disc or replacement spring set. Check the application and contents before combining the assembly with the installed clutch components. The presence of a BTL solution does not mean every clutch from the brand is a slipper clutch.
