[QUOTE="BRush, post: 44549, member: 18729"] There are two metal bands amongst the clutch friction plates. They are "Spring seat" (p/n 16007-1162) "Coned Disc Spring" (p/n 92144-1522) I have a few questions about these (my bike is a '96 KDX 200). First, a little background. The this link is to a pic of my clutch before I took it apart. [url="http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/rushbe/basket2.jpg"]http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/rushbe/basket2.jpg[/url] Whoever did it before me either a) knew some tricks that I don't know, or b) did not have a clue - because as you can see from the picture, the last friction plate that's supposed to be offset from the rest in it's own little notch was not installed that way. Anyway, the "coned disc spring" was at the bottom of the basket (nearest the gear) and the spring seat was sandwiched in front of the last friction plate. This seems to be pretty far from where the shop manual thinks they should be! Having said that, I should also say that the clutch has always worked well. Here's where it gets interesting, I mentioned this when ordering some parts from my dealer - who is the owner/mechanic. His response was "I don't really think they are necessary, and I usually leave them out when I rebuild a clutch". So I thought I'd throw it out to the group here in CDave's forum. What do you think? Do these parts serve a purpose and if so, what? The other thing I wonder about is whether it matters that the last friction plate is offset or not. As someone pointed out to me recently, a Hinson basket does not have this offset arrangement so maybe it does not matter? [This message has been edited by BRush (edited 03-21-2001).] [/QUOTE]
