Are these springs compatible with my 2010 Honda CRF250R?
These specific springs are designed for CRF250R models from 2004-2009. Please check Apico's catalog for compatibility with your 2010 model, as different years may require different spring sets.
Do I need to replace all clutch plates when installing these springs?

Can I install these myself?
Installation requires specific mechanical knowledge and tools related to motorcycle clutch systems. If you are not experienced with clutch replacement, it is best to have a qualified mechanic perform the installation.
How do these springs improve performance?
They are designed to provide a firmer clutch engagement and better heat dissipation, which helps prevent clutch fade and slippage during hard acceleration or prolonged use, contributing to overall better power transfer.
What is the MPN for this product?

Troubleshooting
Clutch slipping after installation
Ensure all clutch components were installed correctly and torqued to specification. Verify that the correct spring set was used for the model. Check for any air in the clutch hydraulic system if applicable.
Clutch engagement feels harsh
This can sometimes be a characteristic of performance springs. Ensure no other clutch components are binding or misaligned. Consult a professional mechanic if the harshness is excessive.
Noise from the clutch area
Inspect all clutch components for wear or damage, including the clutch basket, plates, and pressure plates. Ensure all fasteners are properly tightened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These Apico Performance+ Clutch Springs are specifically designed for the following Honda models:
- Honda CRF250R (2004-2009)
- Honda CRF250X (2004-2019)
Setup: Installation of clutch springs typically involves disassembling the clutch basket and replacing the old springs with the new ones.
