FAQs

Do I need to replace the steel plates when installing these?

While not strictly required, it is best practice to inspect your steel plates for bluing or warping. If they are damaged, they should be replaced alongside the friction plates.

Are these plates compatible with a recluse clutch?

These plates are designed as OEM replacements. Please verify with your auto-clutch manufacturer if their system requires specific proprietary friction material.

How many plates come in the FP101-8 set?

The set includes a full complement of friction plates required for a standard clutch pack replacement on the specified Honda models.

Do I need special tools to install these?

You will need a standard socket set, a torque wrench, and a clutch basket holding tool is recommended for easier removal and installation.

Can these be used for general trail riding?

Yes, these plates are suitable for both competitive racing and general trail riding, offering increased durability over stock units.

Troubleshooting

Clutch feels like it is dragging or not disengaging fully

Check the clutch cable tension or hydraulic fluid level; if both are correct, inspect the clutch basket for deep grooves or notches.

Clutch is slipping under heavy load

Ensure the plates were soaked in oil before installation and verify that the clutch springs are within their service limit length.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Direct fitment requires no modifications to the clutch assembly
  • High-quality friction material improves clutch feel under load
  • Offers a factory-team appearance for your machine
  • Reliable performance for both motocross and enduro applications

Cons

  • Not compatible with models outside the 2018-2021 range
  • Requires mechanical knowledge for proper installation
  • Does not include steel plates or clutch springs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, it is recommended to soak the new friction plates in fresh engine oil for several hours before installation. This prevents immediate friction material burning upon the first startup.

Compatibility:

  • Honda CRF250R (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021)
  • Honda CRF250RX (2019, 2020, 2021)

Care Instructions: Always check your clutch basket for 'notching' (grooves caused by old plates) before installing the new set. If the basket is damaged, the new plates may catch or drag, leading to premature wear. Use a torque wrench to tighten the pressure plate bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications to ensure even clamping pressure.
