clutch plates on a 02' KTM 300EXC

[little jeff]

Does anybody know if the KTM 300EXC uses steel plates in the clutch or aluminum plates? I was under the impression that steel plates are better, Am I right?
Thanks Little Jeff

steel plates give more flywheel effect and put fewer chips in the oil and in some cases last longer. Some say they give a smoother engagment Aluminum plates cool down faster after abuse and some say they give a more positive engagment. As far as I can tell the 300 comes stock with aluminum plates. My old riding buddy swore by the steel plates in his 200

steel are better and last longer unless you want spend the $
4 times a year for new clutches id rather spend the money on
tires and chain and sprockets
