ok ladies and gents, the clutch on the rm is well on its way out and the basket is notched.
i have two options, and i am interested to hear which you think is best.
1. send the current basket to stormin norman and have the stainless steel inserts- price $110
2. just buy a billet basket from him for $130
it seems to me #1 is best since i would expect the basket with the inserts to last longer, my only issue is that i am putting a lot of abuse on the clutch so i am also thinking the billet basket might be less likely to shatter/explode.
it might seem daft that i am concerned about this since i am not the fastest of riders, but being a bigger guy on a small bike i clutch it a lot- it looked and measured really good a few months ago when i built the engine but its really grabby and notched bad after probably less than 40 hours.
