  • Can we use P180 Clutch Plate on 150?

    Hello all,


    I've heard that some are using 180 clutch plates on 150 for better power transmission. Is it correct? My clutch plates are due for replacement.

    Experts, Pls elaborate with pros and cons

          i thought he does it with UG2 plates on UG3 and not 180 plates on a 150...IMO the design should be the same as hardly any parts differ among the pulsars.a visual inspection of both will give you an idea.

            Clutch plates are 100% same for 180/150. P180 just uses an extra pair of clutch plates & pressure plate. Dont know if the P150 clutch bell can accommodate the extra plates. (Look at the parts catalog and check which parts differ, you will get the idea)

            And plates may vary across generations. So get it for the same gen only.

              Assumming p150 can accomodate it , will it bring any changes in bike after fitting p180's plates. Just wanna know its advantages if i go for p180.

                It will lead to lesser clutch slipping and better transmission theoretically. But don't know if this effect can be realised in the real world.

                  Once I read here on xBhp of someone who owned 150 and fitted clutch plates of 180 (?). IMO, some change is obvious if you shift from stock to some other. But, here the feel might get better. Just an opinion, no technical aspects.

                    well, to be honest i really don't think it will make noticeable difference..
                    or any difference at all.

                    the plates could be more like abhijeet said.
                    even i think its same for 180 and 150..

                    instead why don't you go for aftermarket stuff...
                    ebc offers aluminum type plates for imported bikes, it performs better than stock plates as much as I've read.
                    but i don't know weather its available for pulsars.

                    clutch plates of both 150's and 180's come from the same assembly line anyways, what possible difference can it make ??

                    do 1 thing, observe both of them in hand, if you find 180 one's are better visually then go for it..
                    Giving a lot to a fiero.
                    Expecting a lot from a fiero.

                      finally it s good to see you sajjit after long time.
                      it feels a bit weired that all the people who used to talk about electrics are not talking about electric may be we are all electricuted

                      jokes apart,the plates are same so it will not make any diff,just 180 uses a bit more plate pressure+clutch in it,the housing is bigger in 180 also.
                      just change it with oem and you will be good to go.
                      change the pressure plates also,

                          Thanks friends for the prompt feed backs.

                          Dr.ji, that was a good shot man. Running short of time now a days due to work load. To be honest, got addited to TBHP so spending bit more time on it. But I will always be true biker at any point of time. Not like you guys as a tourer, but as a commuter, my touring days are over I think, long biking is restricted due to back pain. But I love to enjoy drive a bike than a car at any time. Just like Shree's signature says " Biking in veins"

                          Would love to hear from some one who had already using this. I've given a link in P150 thread, but seems no one is interested in this weird idea Somewhere I read people are using this idea and hence looking for it.

                          Abhi, the additional pressure plate will exert more pressure at clutch lever right?

                          Will additional pressure plate will give better transmission for a less performance oriented 150? Is it worth to go for? Any thing can be adverse?

                          I will check with my mech and get back to you guys, but he's bit reluctant to do all such things out of the line.

                            It can be done but nothing much of a difference in rinding
                            clutch will become hard and only good thump in the staring rest at the time of riding no major difference,engine oil will burn much faster I guess...

                              Dude, have u tried this? If this plate consumes more oil, the same will be applicable to P180 too but its not happening.

                              If there's a diff in starting then it should felt all the way as the clutch will be engaged while on more right? Am expecting the clutch will be bit more harder due to the excess plate but just want to get a user feedback. Any takers?
