As young racers push their bikes to the limit, the clutch is often the first component to show signs of wear. At Moto-House MX, we recommend ProX because their plates are manufactured by leading OEM factories to exact specifications. This ensures that your YZ65 maintains smooth engagement, maximum torque transfer, and the long-lasting durability required for competitive motocross racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis complete pack of friction plates is designed for a direct, \"drop-in\" replacement of your worn factory parts. Each plate in the 16.S20018 set is engineered with high-quality friction materials that resist heat and glazing, even during the high-RPM starts and aggressive shifting characteristic of 65cc racing. By matching OEM standards, ProX provides a cost-effective solution that performs identically to original parts, keeping your bike on the track and out of the garage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTop Features: ProX 16.S20018 Clutch Friction Plates\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOEM Factory Quality:\u003c\/b\u003e Manufactured in the same facilities as original equipment parts to guarantee performance and fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eComplete Set:\u003c\/b\u003e Includes all the friction plates required for a total clutch overhaul on the YZ65.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSmooth Engagement:\u003c\/b\u003e Precision-engineered thickness and friction coefficients provide a consistent \"feel\" at the lever.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaximum Durability:\u003c\/b\u003e High-grade materials designed to withstand the intense heat and friction of motocross racing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEasy Installation:\u003c\/b\u003e Exact OEM dimensions allow for a seamless installation without the need for modifications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eReliable Power Transfer:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliminates clutch slippage to ensure every bit of horsepower reaches the rear wheel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExpert Pro-Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e Before installing your new ProX friction plates, it is critical to soak them in fresh 2-stroke transmission oil for at least 15 to 30 minutes. This allows the friction material to fully saturate, preventing \"dry\" friction on the first startup which can cause immediate glazing and premature failure. While you have the clutch cover off, always inspect your clutch basket for \"notching\" and check your steel plates for signs of warping or discoloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment List\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse;\"\u003e\n    \u003cthead\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n            \u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n            \u003cth\u003eVehicle Brand\u003c\/th\u003e\n            \u003cth\u003eVehicle Model\u003c\/th\u003e\n        \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/thead\u003e\n    \u003ctbody\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2018-2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYamaha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYZ65 (All Models)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: Does this kit include the steel plates?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: No, the 16.S20018 is a Friction Plate set only.
