Ok ty. Lol. I wonder what they actually do. The 4 strokes don't have them.

It’s actually something about turbulence from the wind when the clutch turns at high speed.
If I recall correctly.
Someone else can chime in hopefully.

They are there to reduce turbulence drag, to get that few extra mph.

Had them on a phazer clutch , we removed them in favour of better cooling.

Just to smooth the surface of the clutch since its ribbed they tested it and found it produced drag. So they engineered them plates to reduce drag and used them on the two strokes on the four strokes they didnt use them because it makes more torque and can over power the little drag it had. I removed mine as well.
