This complete kit includes friction plates, steel drive plates, and precision-engineered clutch springs, unless the original equipment clutch uses a reusable diaphragm spring. The components are supplied in a foam-lined hard plastic case that protects parts before installation and can later be used to store or transport tools and other items.\u003cbr\u003eReady to race without presoak requirements, the DPK194 kit delivers ultrasmooth power delivery and consistent engagement. Its exclusive high-heat friction materials resist fade during demanding riding, while compounds developed specifically for off-road and dual-sport applications provide dependable performance and extended service life. The friction plates are engineered to last up to three times longer than stock plates, helping reduce maintenance and replacement frequency.\u003cbr\u003eThe included steel drive plates are built for stability under heat and load. Unlike stock aluminum plates, they resist expansion, clutch swell, and fade, helping maintain consistent clutch operation. Their increased weight adds flywheel effect to aid starting and improve traction, while the steel construction will not muddy or contaminate the engine oil. Precision-wound clutch springs made from chrome-silicon wire are heat-treated and shot-peened for long-term durability. Individually selected spring rates help prevent slippage while improving clutch feel and ease of operation. With DP Brakes part number DPK194, this kit provides a durable, race-ready clutch upgrade for the Yamaha YZ450F.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eComplete clutch kit includes friction plates, steel drive plates, and clutch springs where applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFoam-lined hard plastic case protects components and provides convenient storage after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNo presoak required before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh-heat friction materials provide fade-resistant performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFriction compounds are designed for off-road and dual-sport motorcycles\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFriction plates can deliver up to 300% more service life than stock plates\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSteel drive plates resist expansion, fade, clutch swell, and oil contamination\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncreased drive-plate weight adds flywheel effect for improved starting and traction\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eChrome-silicon clutch springs are heat-treated and shot-peened for extended durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eStrong, application-specific spring rates help prevent clutch slippage\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigned to improve clutch feel and ease of operation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eShips from Parts Unlimited.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DP Brakes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60115658440990,"sku":"DPK194","price":277.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1091\/7884\/7518\/files\/46001.png?v=1791082723","url":"https:\/\/shoplepier.com\/products\/dp-brakes-dpk194-clutch-kit-for-yamaha-yz450f","provider":"LEPIER POWERSPORTS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
