Rebuilding my small block engine, toss up between casa 185 top end or a rt 195. Would a 5 plate clutch be ok for these (readspeeds) ? Currently got a 185 casa on another scoot with a regular 4 plate and there's no issues. Cheers chaps

IMO Yes
A Readspeed 5 plate clutch is well capable of handling upto 20bhp

Anthony Tambs on facebook is the man to speak to regarding flywheels/stators etc. Built 2 RT 195 kits up, excellent choice.
