i dont know.I bought it as a basket case and parted the motor today.When i took off the clutch cover the back of the clutch basket [the gear] had come away and the plastic spacers?? were mashed up everywhere.

i have seen that before, when i bought my k5 89 it was worse than that, at least you have some fingers on the basket lol. i got the mitaka basket. you have to press the center gear but the ring gear goes on using bolts. i had my doubts at first but but i gave it a good work out (to the point the engine gave up) and it was fine. heres some picks of the new basket dont have the old 1 and a sub frame its the only 1 i can find. it dead straight with a couple of small marks from the chain. threads look good too but will have to check them through properly
