Looking to see who would want a hinson billet clutch basket

flip that basket over and count the teeth on the ring gear and measure the OD and count the small gear and measure the bore of the small gear.

Ring gear= 66teeth
Small gear= 17 teeth
Small gear bore = 31.9mm
Ring gear= 151mm

          Just got off the phone with hinson they said that H082 is the kx500 basket and they don't make them anymore but some are out there floating around so if you can get one grab it but hinson said that is the part number for the kx500 082 I ordered one today.

          In the sales meeting on wednesday he is going to try and get a run of k5 baskets made though and will call me back wednesday evening to tell me how it went.

sales meeting sounds like a shot in the dark. for a bike thats not being made anymore i would say no inless they charge alot more.

hey snipe, you should make this same kind of thread on multiple websites like kxriders so more kx500 people can say they want the basket

[PowerFiend]

I would be in for at least one Hinson basket.

           Good idea 89 kaw and just so everyone knows that the 90-91 250 part is the kx500 part so there are quite a few of them out there from ebay and I ordered mine from

http://shop.andersracing.net/Kawasaki-KX250-Hinson-Clutch-Basket-90-91-KLA31-082.htm

$208 shipped to my door and once again hinson told me that it is the kx500 basket and they are available on many different sites.

         
           Don't give up yet kaw rider the manager at hinson told me they just started making the CR250 basket,inner hub, and pressure plate due to demand he said 2 strokes are making a comeback and they have noticed that comeback due to 4 chokes breaking everyone but the factory teams.

you should make an online petition. ( on a different site)
and show that to hinson

personally i havent used a aftermarket basket for a long time. Yeah but a cr250 clutch will also work on a cr 500 too and honda didnt change there clutch over a long period of time. Are they going to make the inner hub and pressue plate too.

[sandblaster]

Just ordered one.
I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Worst case I'll flog it on FeeBay.

Hinson said they are making the whole nine yards for the cr250 pressure plate and inner hub and basket.

Only 2 places that have them in stock so far if anyone else finds more links post away and the anders is the cheapest thanks for that link blaster

I just spoke with hinson again and once again the manager verified the 90-91 KX250 basket is identical in every way to the KX500 basket it's the same specs too per hinson.

        I hope the rubber cushions come with it I forgot to ask anyone know if they automatically come with them?

[kwakman]
