I am considering going to aftermarket clutch plates for my 2004 RM 250. I just looked at my stock parts, and everything looks perfect. No notching on the basket. I don't have a micrometer, but everything looked new and hardly worn.
Will my clutch engagement improve if I leave the basket and pressure plate stock but replace the plates? Right now it goes into gear roughly from idle, and is jerky on take off (just like MXA said). Do DP, EBC and Barnett kits work well with the stock basket? Or is there more slop, which will lead to the basket notching?
I've done searches, but can't seem to find an answer to this problem (for this bike). Will I improve things or just cause real problems if I buy one of the clutch 'kits' to slip into my stock basket and pressure plate?
Thanks.
