Has anyone ever put a full KTM clutch into a Japanese bike before? I currently own my first KTM and the clutch design is way better than the Japanese bikes. I was thinking about getting a Japanese 450 in the future and was wondering if this was a reasonable or even possible option. (idc about hydro only internals)

The difference i made on my crf450 was to remap it for more overrev, the low end torque was killing the clutch over and over.
BUt the KTM is still superior, no doubt
The single Belleville spring is a light weight feature, it is not the reason for improved clutch durability.

Even my RM125 and 250 have clutches years old and they are 2 strokes that you do slip the clutch on. Is this a new trend I missed out on?
Put stiffer coils in a Japanese bike and you will have nearly the side thing aside a stout inner hub, but your clutch pull will suck. KTM gets away with it because of the Magura and Brembo clutches
