MF has joined forces with Parts Unlimited in an exclusive distribution situation for the United States and Canada to market the STM/FMF CEB slipper clutches for four-stroke performance machines. The secret weapon top factory riders and teams have been using for years without anyone knowing, the STM CEB (Controlled Engine Braking) Clutch system was initially developed for Superbike road racing, but further testing proved it to be a necessary asset for competitive Supermoto and Off-Road racing. The STM/FMF CEB slipper clutch uses advanced clutch technology bringing new and innovative performance improvements to the rapidly expanding 4-stroke Off-Road, Supermoto and ATV markets. All components of this system are produced utilizing the highest quality manufacturing standards-ISO 9002-and Italian craftsmanship by STM.
     The STM/FMF CEB Slipper Clutch System is a unique and highly effective engine-to clutch-to rear wheel power management system–the only one of its kind currently available. When the throttle is closed, this triggers the clutch to release and decreases unwanted engine braking. Already in use by top factory riders and teams, it decreases lap times, inhibits engine stalling, increases hole-shots and helps create ‘neutral’ jumping characteristics by decreasing rear wheel drag in ‘throttle off’ conditions.
     While still operating like a conventional clutch from a dead stop or in ‘feathering’ situations with rider input, the releasing action of this system affects the negative handling and traction characteristics of a 4-stroke machine. The STM/FMF CEB Slipper Clutch System permits the engine to glide or coast more freely on deceleration, reducing engine braking and unloading the suspension. This allows the rider and machine to rapidly roll through braking bumps and corners without engine drag or to aggressively back it into an asphalt Supermoto corner at high speed. The end result is less stress on drive-train components increasing longevity and durability, while giving more traction control and feedback. The STM/FMF CEB Slipper Clutch system is already available, as           Parts Unlimited began stocking inventory in January.
     Also new from FMF in 2006, Parts Unlimited will be carrying and supplying to dealers the full line of FMF apparel as offered in FMF’s upcoming 2006 catalog. The FMF logo is famous world-wide and is offered in various forms on this fine line of casual wear–hats, T-shirts, hoodies, polos, sweatshirts and jackets so now your customers can wear the oval as well as bolt it onto their machines.
