FAQs
Are these plates compatible with all KTM models?
No, these plates are designed for specific KTM, Husqvarna, Gas Gas, and Husaberg models listed in the compatibility section. Always verify fitment for your exact motorcycle.
How do steel clutch plates differ from OEM alloy plates?
Steel plates are significantly harder and more durable, offering better resistance to wear and heat compared to most OEM alloy plates.
Do I need to use special oil with these plates?
It is recommended to use the transmission oil specified in your motorcycle's owner's manual. No special oil is typically required beyond the manufacturer's recommendation.
Can I mix these steel plates with my old clutch plates?
It is generally recommended to replace all clutch plates (friction and steel) as a set for optimal performance and to prevent uneven wear.
What is the expected lifespan of these plates?
The lifespan varies greatly depending on riding style, conditions, and maintenance. However, they are designed to be much harder wearing than most OEM alloy plates.
Is installation difficult?
Installation involves disassembling the clutch cover and basket. If you are comfortable with basic motorcycle maintenance, it is manageable. Consulting a service manual is highly recommended.
Troubleshooting
Clutch slipping after installation
Verify that the plates were installed in the correct order and orientation. Ensure the correct amount and type of transmission oil is used. Check that the clutch cable is properly adjusted or that the hydraulic system is bled correctly.
Clutch drag or difficulty shifting
Re-check the installation for any binding components. Ensure clutch plates are not warped. Adjust clutch cable or hydraulic system as per service manual.
Premature wear
Confirm you are using the recommended transmission fluid. Ensure the clutch is not being ridden improperly (e.g., excessive slipping). Verify compatibility with any aftermarket clutch components.
