I received the apico dimple plates this week. I have rounded and polished the teeth a little bit. Just because I could. And today I have tried them for the first time. The improvement is huge. Really smooth operation, absolut better control on the clutch. Good update, all together The original plate as it came out Versus the sligthly polished Apico plate The apico teeth, before polishing, looked very similar to the original plates so there is some improvement. I don't know if it makes any difference in operation but it won't hurt either.

I received an answer from my supplier. The plates are Apico but it looks as if there has been a bad batch, as if the finishing touch is missing. My supplier's supplier has received more complaints on this issue. Meanwhile I have ordered a set at the Splatshop so fingers crossed

Thanks for your reply I bought them from a well known Montesa specialist, not my dealer, so I expected to receive some decent quality but I'm affraid you're right. What is a good brand? I don't have any experience in this matter. I think I can get them in a useable shape but it will take some time

Hello Mine has the same issue, it seems typical for the Montesa Honda Reason to try dimpled plates but I have raised a question about it because I doubt the quality of what I have received

I bought a set of dimple plates for my 2026 Montesa 260 4RT I expected to see smooth plates with dimples in it but to my surprise every dimple is surrounded by a tiny edge which lays above the surface of the plate. It seems to me as if it has been forgotten to grind them flush. I can feel them real good so I doubt if this will work. I am affraid it will destroy the clutch in no time. Anyone with experience can give me advise in this? Shouldn't I grind this flush and smooth?

Hello all, I'm from the Netherlands I am riding a trial bike for a year and a half now and I love it. Bought a new Montesa 260 4RT 2 months ago.
