My fx300 buzzes too. It came with non-oem bearings. Not bad less noisy than stock ap1 clutch.

I am at about 800 miles on this clutch now and the noise hasn't changed after break in. Do other FX300 owners also experience this?
Looking for the Fx300 clutch, the whining/buzzing is constantly even in neutral? or just on desaceleration?

The ClutchMaster FX300 comes with aftermarket release bearing? or NACHI japan bearing?

It buzzes only on decel for me. You will only notice it when you're off the throttle in gear slowing down at higher revs.

Do you know if the clutchmaster release bearing that comes in the kit its pretty decent one? or better get the Nachi one?

LHT performance use these clutches a lot but they always put in a new OEM bearing instead of what ever is included.
Go check their youtube channel out, pretty sure they highlighted this in some of their recent videos.

True.

I'm looking forward to trying the ACT HD PP plus OEM disc next time around. Want more bite and torque handling than OEM but not insane bite making it uncomfortable on street or in parking lots and I don't want hectic decel buzz either...

I bought a complete FX200 from clutch masters and hated the buzz so badly that I sold the disc and went with an OEM. My current setup is CM PP, OEM Disc and everything else and couldn't be happier with the feel and performance.
