Universal motorcycle clutch plates for Honda 110CD

A clutch plate, or clutch disc, is a crucial component in a manual transmission that engages and disengages the engine from the transmission to allow for smooth gear changes and power transfer to the wheels. Located between the engine's flywheel and the transmission, it features a friction surface on both sides made of materials like organic, ceramic, or metallic compounds. When the driver presses the clutch pedal, the pressure plate releases the clutch plate, interrupting power flow to the transmission; when the pedal is released, the pressure plate engages the clutch plate against the flywheel, transmitting engine power to propel the vehicle.  

How Clutch Plates Work

1. Location:

The clutch plate sits between the engine's flywheel and the transmission's input shaft. 

2. Engagement:

When the clutch pedal is released, the pressure plate pushes the clutch plate firmly against the engine's flywheel, creating friction and transmitting power. 

3. Disengagement:

When the clutch pedal is pressed, the pressure plate moves away, releasing the clutch plate from the flywheel. This interrupts the connection between the engine and the transmission, stopping power flow. 

4. Power Transmission:

The clutch plate's friction surfaces grip the flywheel to transfer torque, enabling the engine's power to reach the transmission and drive the vehicle. 

Components and Materials

Friction Surfaces:

Both sides of the clutch plate have friction materials (organic, ceramic, or metallic compounds) that provide the necessary grip.
