ProX 16.S20018 OEM-Spec Clutch Friction Plate Set - Yamaha YZ65
Restore the snap and power delivery to your Yamaha YZ65 with the ProX 16.S20018 Clutch Friction Plate Set. As young racers push their bikes to the limit, the clutch is often the first component to show signs of wear. At Moto-House MX, we recommend ProX because their plates are manufactured by leading OEM factories to exact specifications. This ensures that your YZ65 maintains smooth engagement, maximum torque transfer, and the long-lasting durability required for competitive motocross racing.
This complete pack of friction plates is designed for a direct, "drop-in" replacement of your worn factory parts. Each plate in the 16.S20018 set is engineered with high-quality friction materials that resist heat and glazing, even during the high-RPM starts and aggressive shifting characteristic of 65cc racing. By matching OEM standards, ProX provides a cost-effective solution that performs identically to original parts, keeping your bike on the track and out of the garage.
Top Features: ProX 16.S20018 Clutch Friction Plates
- OEM Factory Quality: Manufactured in the same facilities as original equipment parts to guarantee performance and fit.
- Complete Set: Includes all the friction plates required for a total clutch overhaul on the YZ65.
- Smooth Engagement: Precision-engineered thickness and friction coefficients provide a consistent "feel" at the lever.
- Maximum Durability: High-grade materials designed to withstand the intense heat and friction of motocross racing.
- Easy Installation: Exact OEM dimensions allow for a seamless installation without the need for modifications.
- Reliable Power Transfer: Eliminates clutch slippage to ensure every bit of horsepower reaches the rear wheel.
Expert Pro-Tip: Before installing your new ProX friction plates, it is critical to soak them in fresh 2-stroke transmission oil for at least 15 to 30 minutes. This allows the friction material to fully saturate, preventing "dry" friction on the first startup which can cause immediate glazing and premature failure. While you have the clutch cover off, always inspect your clutch basket for "notching" and check your steel plates for signs of warping or discoloration.

Year Range Vehicle Brand Vehicle Model 2018-2025 Yamaha YZ65 (All Models)Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this kit include the steel plates?
A: No, the 16.S20018 is a Friction Plate set only. If your steel plates are warped or blue from heat, we recommend purchasing the ProX steel plate set separately for a full rebuild.
Q: How do I know if my YZ65 needs new clutch plates?
A: Common signs include the engine RPMs increasing without a corresponding increase in speed (slipping), a "mushy" feeling at the clutch lever, or difficulty finding neutral while the engine is running.
Q: Can I use any oil with these plates?
A: We recommend using a high-quality 2-stroke specific transmission oil or a 10W-40 oil that is specifically rated for wet clutches (JASO MA/MA2) to ensure the best performance and longest life.
