2023+ Panigale V4R Dry Clutch Plates, ADU-0331 STM

Description

2023+ Panigale V4R Dry Clutch Plates

The STM 2023+ Panigale V4R Dry Clutch Plates Kit (Part# ADU-0331) is a professional-grade replacement specifically engineered for the 2023 and newer Panigale V4R. As a 100% Italian-made component, it is designed to meet the extreme thermal and mechanical demands of the V4R’s high-revving engine, providing the consistent friction and heat management required for both competitive racing and aggressive street use.

The Performance Advantage of STM Engineering

STM Italy ADU-0331 Clutch Plate Kit is the definitive choice for riders who demand MotoGP-level reliability. Unlike standard clutch packs, STM uses proprietary sintered friction materials that maintain a stable coefficient of friction even as temperatures soar during repeated hard launches or heavy track sessions. This kit replaces the OEM 40-tooth (Z40) plate pack found on the updated 2023+ V4R models.

• 100% Sintered Friction Material: Features 9 high-performance sintered friction plates designed for superior bite and minimal fade under extreme heat.
• Precision Steel Drive Plates: Includes a complete set of precision-ground steel plates (8 x 1.5mm and 1 x 2.0mm convex) to ensure perfectly flat engagement surfaces and reduced parasitic drag.
• Z40 Tooth Configuration: Specifically designed for the 40-tooth basket architecture of the 2023+ V4R, ensuring a precise mechanical fit that reduces the “hammering” effect on the basket fingers.
• Improved Slipper Function: Optimized plate thickness and material consistency allow the slipper mechanism to operate with greater fluidity during aggressive downshifts.

📊 Technical Specifications

🛡️ Why STM over OEM?

The Panigale V4R delivers over 230hp in racing trim, putting immense stress on the clutch stack. The STM ADU-0331 kit is designed to last longer than the factory plates by using harder-wearing sintered compounds that resist the “glazing” often seen with OEM plates. Additionally, by using a dry system, these plates keep wear dust out of your engine oil, ensuring your lubrication circuit stays cleaner for longer.

❓ FAQ: Installation & Fitment

Will this fit the standard Panigale V4 or V4S?

No. These plates are exclusively for the factory dry clutch systems. If you have a “wet” clutch V4 or V4S, you must first install a dry clutch conversion kit.

How often should I replace these plates?

For track-focused V4R models, we recommend inspecting the stack every 1,500–2,000 miles. For street use, a typical service interval is 3,000–3,500 miles depending on riding style.

Does this include the primary springs?

This kit is a “disc pack” only. It includes the friction and steel plates but does not include the primary or secondary slipper springs.
