Read it, read it again. Really easy with a few tools (basket removal tool and 32mm ? socket) Will take about 45-60 mins, on side stand, in gear and no oil dripping out. Koinz was a great help.npj1966 said:Next Project!

Don, just replied to your message... 2012 faster blue STDon in Lodi said:Doubt it's the basket's fault...
And why would you say that Don?Don in Lodi said:Doubt it's the basket's fault...
Sounds like you're describing Yamaha's infamous diaphragm pressure plate, not the basket. The basket is just a chunk of spinning metal that happens to hold a bunch of moving wear items. Had you done the tensioner yet? That clatter could be chain related, loading and unloading and all that. You could prolly get away with just doing a Barnett pressure plate and have it all good again. I put a Barnett in my Royal Star at about 54k, 5th gear slip, 4th gear w/trailer, on top of the old discs and steels, ran 'em through to 110k when I got the Ténéré. At 54k everything still mic'd good, just the diaphragm had lost it's tension.Ramseybella said:And why would you say that Don?
With clutch engaged it's quiet when disengaged it has a bit of a clatter and when using the clutch while shifting there is not much of a clutch to use. Clutch lever is all the way up to the max for adjustment. I use to have it like three clicks back from max.
It's real short from engage to disengage.
I haven't taken anything apart yet to look at plates and basket. At 58k now around 25k since I had the 14 basket installed and it has been great till the last few months. :'(

Yep Cam chain tension is fine I didn't know Yamaha had a infamous diaphragm pressure plate issue no one on the forum has mentioned it that I know of.
I am not afraid of digging into the clutch never did it just afraid of Efing it up or something as my mechanic is 50 miles away..

I haven't tried the Barnett plate that OldRider mentioned but would trust his experience if replacing mine!
There is only one spring kit, but with different spring tensions..Ramseybella said:Any suggestions on what Barnett pressure plate to get and I may as well change the clutch plates while I am at it.
What would be your setup on a budget?
