Harvey600 Posted March 31, 2010 If you rev the motor in gear with the clutch pulled in and it tries to pull away, I'd say it was time for replacement! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harvey600 Posted March 31, 2010 When you get what Bob describes, the plates don't seperate properly leading to what I described. Sometimes better to remove and inspect for wear in the basket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I googled worn clutch basket and couldnt find any good pics. is there a service limit measurement? or when its grooved you just file? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harvey600 Posted March 31, 2010 If it's grooved you may get away with filing, when I had this problem on a GSXR, the grooving didn't look that bad, I even showed the basket and inner hub to my mate who is an independant Motorcycle mechanic and he thought it would be ok, but, we couldn't fix the problem, until I bought a new one.

mdlifcrisis Posted April 1, 2010 Clutch action may not be smooth..wear marks in the basket where the fiber plates sit in the channels. Take a pic if you have it. If the clutch action, not clutch "slip" feels ok, I wouldnt worry too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
