Clutch question
« on: June 23, 2011, 05:30:28 PM »
        Just a quick question before changing clutch plates since I don't see a hinson in the near future I'm going to use the OEM basket if it's in good shape but I bought the OEM fibers so are they all the same? I know the honda 450 has 2 oddball fibers with oil grooves just making sure that isn't the case on the 500 but I didn't buy a kit I just bought them off bikebandit.

        This is just a temporary fix until a hinson basket is made :) I just can't stand the clutch slipping a little bit right now so in with the new parts before I hit the sand dunes.

The basket wont effect clutch slippage...  :|   only Clutch Sticking..

        Well said motorrad :) I really wanted that basket in here for the dunes but the OEM should hold up for the weekend but the dragstrip is real heavy sand they keep it smooth and wet with a christmas tree light and the whole nine yards it's a blast but the heavy sand is hard on clutches and I start in 2nd gear so a beating is on the way to the ole clutch and basket.
