Moto-House MX Pro Tip:

In high-revving 250cc machines like the Yamaha YZ250F, Kawasaki KX250, or Suzuki RM-Z250, the clutch is constantly abused to keep the engine screaming in its optimal powerband. When your fiber plates wear thin or glaze over from excessive heat, you lose vital horsepower before it ever reaches your rear tire. Installation Tip: Never install your new Hinson fiber plates dry out of the box! For maximum life and smooth initial modulation, completely submerge all 8 fiber plates in fresh, clean motorcycle-specific engine oil for a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes before rebuilding your clutch pack. Maintenance Advice: When performing a clutch refresh, always inspect your steel drive plates for hot spots, bluing, or warping, and ensure your clutch basket fingers aren't notched. If you're installing this on a Can-Am DS 450 ATV, please note that it requires Hinson's specific aftermarket clutch basket (part H503) for correct clearance. Always finish the install with fresh oil, a new filter, and torque your pressure plate springs in a cross pattern to factory specifications.

A) No, the FP217-8-001 is a dedicated friction pack that contains a set of 8 premium fiber clutch plates. If your steel plates are warped or your springs have lost their tension, you will need to purchase steel drive plates and a spring kit separately to perform a full system rebuild.
