ATHENA Clutch Friction Plate Kit + cover gasket for KTM, HUSQVARNA and GAS GAS 2012-2022

The ATHENA P40230020 clutch friction plate kit is designed for KTM EXC 450, EXC 500, EXCF 450, EXCF 500, SXF 450, XCF 450, XCW 450, XCW 500, HUSQVARNA FC 450, FE 450, FX 450 and GAS GAS EXF 450, MCF 250 from 2012 to 2022. Every start and every hard acceleration wears the clutch linings a little. New friction plates give you back a clutch that holds the torque and bites cleanly at the lever.

Specifications

• Brand: ATHENA
• Manufacturer part number: P40230020
• EAN code: 8052780272209
• Weight: 430 g
• Engine: 4-stroke

When to replace it?

• Revs rise but the bike doesn't pick up speed (slipping), especially in the higher gears.
• Engagement point that wanders, clutch that judders or smells burnt.
• Plates below the minimum thickness given in the manual.

Measure plate thickness with a vernier caliper at every clutch check and replace the plates once they're below the minimum in the manual, or as soon as they slip.

Fitting tips

1. Soak the new friction plates in gearbox oil before fitting them.
2. Check the steel plates (flatness, blueing) and the clutch springs; replace them if necessary.
3. Make sure the basket fingers aren't notched: if they are, the clutch will snag.
4. Reassemble in the original order, tighten to the manufacturer's torque and close up with a new clutch cover gasket.
