CRF250 Clutch plates

[BENT]

So whats the racers preference between aluminum and steel plates in a thumper MX bike, we ride tracks and race, occasional tree ride. I know the weight is the major difference, does the aluminum clutch preform better, besides letting the engine rev quicker?

I tend to think I should stick with the aluminum plates, we have 1 1/2 seasons on the stock clutch and it just started slipping.

I think the very slight weight penalty with steel plates is worth it. Aluminum plates wear rapidly and also contaminate the oil much quicker.

Steel plates and 450 springs. Hinson hubs and a wiseco basket!
