DP Brakes Clutch Kit for Honda CRF450R (DPK233)

The DP Brakes DPK233 Clutch Kit is designed to deliver smoother, more durable performance than standard OEM or aftermarket clutch components for Honda CRF450R motorcycles. The complete kit includes high-performance friction plates, steel drive plates, and precision clutch springs, providing the essential components needed for a reliable clutch upgrade. Unlike conventional kits, it arrives ready to race without requiring the friction plates to be presoaked in oil before installation.
The exclusive high-heat friction materials are engineered for fade-free performance and consistent power delivery in demanding off-road and dual-sport riding conditions. These friction compounds are designed to provide smooth engagement while offering greater durability than OEM plates. The included steel drive plates resist expansion, clutch fade, and oil contamination commonly associated with stock aluminum plates. Their increased weight also adds a subtle flywheel effect, helping improve starting performance and traction.
The DPK233 clutch springs are precision-wound from high-quality chrome silicone wire, then heat-treated and shot-peened for extended service life. Individually engineered spring rates help prevent clutch slippage while maintaining improved feel and easier clutch operation. The kit is supplied in a protective foam-lined hard plastic case that helps prevent component damage before installation and can be reused to store parts, tools, or other equipment after the clutch is installed. Built for demanding riders, the DP Brakes DPK233 combines durable materials, consistent engagement, and dependable performance for serious CRF450R use.
