[QUOTE="Tdel, post: 1197972, member: 51999"] I hate to differ with the post above but let me share my experience with you. I had a 95 RM-250 with worn clutch fingers and a friend with a machine shop. I took the clutch basket to him and he put it on a computer operated grinder that took an even amount of off each clutch finger until they were all smooth. This did 2 things first, it allowed even engagement of the clutch (all of the clutch tabs made even contact with the fingers and even pressure) which was a good thing. Secondly it also allowed play or slop between the clutch fingers and clutch tabs which was a bad thing. I found out number 2 was bad when I started finding pieces of clutch disc in my oil. On further inspection several clutch plates shattered due to the slop between the clutch fingers and clutch tabs. On deceleration the clutch tabs would move to the rear finger and on hard throttle slam into the front finger, they are not designed for that kind of stress. I would recommend looking for a used replacement or finding a new one in some small shop that has old parts lying around. [/QUOTE]
