When re-building/upgrading your 495 clutch, please note that:


- You can also use YZ250H clutch fibre plates. They are nearly a fit, just had to take about 1 mm off each finger edge to make it fit. The plate is thicker by about 1mm and has more contact area. This will also help avoiding slipping.

- Clutch disks from the big bore KTM's 420/495 79-84 and 350/500/550 85-87 are same. Inner outer Clutch hubs are same on all 420-495.

I dont think they do because of the oil filler but maybe you could Brad to try one and find out?
