Any advice on the longest lasting friction plate to use? Are there compromises on clutch feel with heavy duty part? Particularly interested in people's experiences rather than just opinion. Thanks
Just out of interest what’s wrong with a ceramic one? It’s of no relevance to me as I’m gone l/c. JJH
tend to be grabby and are very hard on the other components
Yes, that's exactly what I want to avoid.
Still keen to know longest lasting - that may be OEM, but i could also imagine there are improved alternatives
Second question, in addition to qu re longest lasting
Motobins lists a heat resistant friction plate. Does anyone know if this has a similar lifespan to OEM in road use conditons? (NB no need to go off on a tangent - this is a specific question phrased that way for a reason. Am saying this in advance of unnecessary comments. Thanks)
Or 6 months as the case may be. JJHFfs,
Go and buy a different one and report back in 6 years as to whether it lasts longer than your original or not then.
Simples....

Total bastard of an idea Great if you want to travel around the world and are worried about oil leaks
But much more expensive, tend to be grabby and are very hard on the other components
My only deviation from "Standard" would be to invest in one of those extended spline clutches, Where instead of 17 mm* of spline engagement you get something like 25mm* so the wear/stresses on the input shaft is lessened exponentially
*rough figures but hopefully you get the idea
Theoretical lifespan for 'average' conditions does not depend on the individual.
I am asking if there are any friction plates that last longer than OEM without giving up feel, as per prior posts
