2018+ Clutch Plates
It looks like the clutch plates for the 18+ models are different part numbers from previous years/models. Just curious what the difference is between the two. If anyone has measured the thicknesses of the 18+ OEM plates (friction and steels), it would be good to know.

I found two different part numbers in two different 2018 parts books. The new number ME25632007 should fit from 2000 to 2020 according to what the dealers website says... |

There were 2 different friction plates offered by GG on the fiche for the 18 enduro bikes. One was "standard", one Kevlar.
Allegedly the 19 went to the Kevlar friction as the standard friction plate in all bikes. Some 2017 and earlier GG clutch plates were not compatible with 2018+ clutches according to the direct contact I had with GG North America reps. Following GG's long established tradition of drunk part cataloging which you can see several examples of in the stickied threads in this forum they kept the same old part number for new designed part. This discovery was a long drawn out process that involved the original GG dealer I purchased my bike from, a replacement dealer after the first proved incompetent, a former GG North America rep that now works for another brand, and the GG North America president. The confusion of mixing the different parts with the same part number (especially when they didn't work together when mixed), lack of any GG recommended aftermarket replacement discs for the 18+ GG OEM hub and basket, & the prohibitive costs and limited availability of the OEM clutch pack led me to replace it with the Rekluse Core Manual. |

That's interesting, especially since I have severe clutch problems since a GG dealer sent me some plates he called Kevlar plates but also said they aren't the OEM ones. Since I have installed them I have serious trouble.
Well I have now ordered another set of friction plates with a different part number and I will see if they work... |

Will do that Jacob, and this time I will measure all friction and steel plates even if they are new. And the stack height.
It will take a few days, the clutch didn't arrive yet, but I'll let you all know for sure. |

After the second set of frictions that ran $280 dealer cost I gave up and started pressing Rekluse to sell me one of their Core manual clutches specifically designed for 2018+ that they had in RAMP phase. After about 3 months of me begging they gave in, then thankfully they released them to dealers a couple weeks later. The 2018+ Core Manual is an expensive initial investment & it still honks a little with the Rekluse basket. I had it fade on me twice in very hard use situations in a couple races but it is still 1000 times more reliable than the ones that come off the GG parts fiche. |

Its always frustrating until the crucial point is reached. For me the worst is, if a problem exists and I cannot find out what the heck the root cause is. Then all the testing is trial and error and that can sometimes take forever. Looking on my personal problem with the clutch, it would have been better and only a little more expensive to order a core manul from Rekluse the very first day the problem appeared. Its good that I can't afford a new Beta at the moment... |

Good luck on your clutch woes. You'll need the well wishes in my experience. |
