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

a four plate with mb springs is more than enough

I agree with Garry a 4 plate fine for that set up with MB springs and use Motul transoil 10/40 gearbox oil

Cheers chaps, and if you were going to advise on an ignition, bgm with mid weight flywheel?

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