heres a little info for those always wondering, as did i, how to replace the clutch basket and install new clutch plates, for now, just a few pics of the basket install, because i then found grooves on the inner basket, and i've come too far and way too much money to skimp on parts now.
so i ordered a brand new inner basket from xc-bob on ebay for $50 + change,
the clucth plate install pics will follow sometime this week when it arrives,
i also have to thank ken oconnor and dualstroke for answering their phones a few times like my personal "tech lines" and helping with a few questions, thanx bro's !!!!!!!!!
heres the new driveleine performance 240 HD clutch kit... $54
and what was advertised as a PE billet clutch basket,
but the labeling says "MAGNUM" ???
looks to be a very nice piece for $139 shipped
EDIT: since doing this, ken oconnor has done a video, so here it is, refer below for detailed pics
after removing all the pieces from the bike, heres the stock clutch basket that will need the rivets drilled out to remove the basket from the gear, this is the part that has always had me worried, but they drilled right out, which i did in 3 steps each, starting small and workin up in size
then i sharpened a small chisel and cut the remaining thin piece right off, i then used a nail to drive the rivet out, which was fairly easy prolly cause i used the right size bit to drill thru the rivet but not hit the basket or gear itself, so there wasnt much left to the rivets and they popped right thru
heres what you'll see when you seperate the gear from the stock basket..........
notice there are 4 "D" shaped rubbers and 2 round ones, pay particular attention to where and how they go,
2 round in the same slot (orange arrows)
and 2 "D"'s in each of the other 2 slots (green arrows)
and the "D" shaped ones are wider at one end, which needs to go to the outside, they will not fit in wrong, the rubbers and the reddish paper gasket that goes under them will need transfered to the new basket also just like they came from the old one as pictured here...........
you'll also notice there are 3 small rubber "bumpers" ???? that will need to go back into the gear also after cleaning
this was all cleaned with 2 cans of brake cleaner, then wiped down and sprayed again, being absolutely sure to get all the drill shavings removed from every nook and cranny of all reused parts
i need to get pics today of the assembled new unit
which uses a new "aluminum plate" instead of the steel one that was right under the rivets, the new one has recessed holes to accomodate the allen head screws that hold the gear to the new basket in place of the rivets, the screws and basket got cleaned with brake clean as per the instrustions, and a heavy dose of red threadlocker on all 3 screws to keep it all together
