I have an STM on my 2010 model SDR. Its saved my bacon quite a few times on track.

I have had a Suter clutch for quite a few years now. Great bit of kit - I wouldn't go back to not having a slipper on a big Vtwin. Good on road but even more needed on track. The Suter works differently from a conventional clutch in that it does not use the six springs to keep plates together. It used the standard clutch plates but has a large round flat spring which are available in different strengths so you can fine tune the amount of slip you get. But Colonel Link and I had issues with clutch slip last year and had to uprate to a heavier spring which cured the problem. We think that the SD engine with Motobox and full exhaust system just makes a bit too much power for the recommended spring. There is a big thread on here about it all if you search.
Here it is....

They are good clutches and you can deal with Suter themselves for parts and advice but there is a bit of an issue that they say that you have to talk to KTM and KTM say you need to talk to Suter. I have a 'Suter" clutch that I bought from ebay but it is not a KTM hard parts clutch. It is EXACTLY the same unit though.
Good luck in your choice, I'm sure that both Suter and STM are both good choices.
