FDJ Centrifugal Clutch 5/8" Bore 11-Tooth for #35 Chain — Predator 212 Compatible, Steel

FDJ's centrifugal clutch is a direct-replacement 11-tooth, #35-chain clutch with a 5/8" bore designed to restore smooth, reliable power transfer on Predator 212 and similar small engines.

Whether you're repairing a worn stock unit or upgrading a DIY go-kart, mini bike, or drift trike, this FDJ clutch is built to match common 5/8" shaft engines and #35 chain sprocket systems. Machined steel construction and a centrifugal engagement mechanism let the clutch engage cleanly as RPMs rise, reducing shock loading on the drivetrain and helping acceleration feel more controlled. Before ordering, confirm your engine shaft diameter and chain type to ensure compatibility.

Will this clutch fit my Predator 212 or Coleman CT200U engine?

This FDJ clutch is specifically made for applications using a 5/8" crankshaft and a #35 chain. It’s a common replacement for Predator 212-style small engines and several popular mini bikes and go-kart models.

• Fits engines with a 5/8" (0.625") crankshaft bore.
• Designed for #35 roller chain systems—check your chain pitch and width.
• Compatible with Predator 212, Coleman CT200U, Baja MB200 and similar units.

How does the centrifugal design affect ride quality and drivetrain wear?

The centrifugal clutch engages progressively as engine RPM increases, smoothing acceleration and limiting abrupt torque spikes to the chain and sprockets. That controlled engagement reduces jarring on the drivetrain and can extend the life of chains and sprockets compared with a hard-engaging system.

• Progressive engagement reduces sudden shock to the chain.
• Improved acceleration feel for recreational and racing use.
• Durable steel construction resists wear under typical loads.

What installation and maintenance should I expect?

Installation is straightforward on compatible 5/8" shaft engines: slide onto the crank, secure per your engine's retained method, and align the #35 sprocket to the chain. Routine checks for wear and proper chain tension will keep performance consistent and safe.

• Quick mount on 5/8" shafts—verify retention hardware before fitting.
• Inspect chain tension and sprocket alignment after installation.
• Replace if teeth show significant wear or engagement becomes noisy.

Is this clutch suited for racing or custom builds?

The FDJ clutch is durable enough for spirited recreational riding and many entry-level racing setups, and its standard spec makes it a popular choice for custom mini-bike and go-kart projects. However, for high-horsepower or highly modified engines, choose components rated specifically for those increased loads.

• Common upgrade path for DIY and light racing applications.
• Works well in custom builds using standard 5/8" shafts and #35 chains.
• Not intended as a high-horsepower aftermarket performance clutch.

Who is this for: This FDJ 11-tooth, 5/8" bore centrifugal clutch is ideal for hobbyists and mechanics replacing worn clutches on Predator 212, Coleman CT200U, Baja MB200, mini bikes, go-karts, and drift trikes that use #35 chain systems. It suits riders seeking a straightforward, durable replacement to restore smoother acceleration and reliable drivetrain engagement—provided the engine shaft diameter and chain specification match.
