okbeast Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 Like the title says I broke a tooth off of the outer clutch basket last time I was reassembling it. I already have one bought from NYUK but it might not be here in time for our next planned riding trip so I was curious if it would be ok to run it like this or would everything be too out of balance? Another idea was to break a tooth off the opposite side of the basket to try to "balance" things out. Let me know what ya'll think. Quote

Let me know what ya'll think. i wouldnt do it,you might start tearing up other internal parts.if your clutch basket starts to come apart while youre riding you might end up killing your tranny. :: :shoothead: Quote
dajogejr Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 You clutch basket integrity is weakened. pay a little now (which, you already did) or pay a LOT more later. Don't chance it just for a riding trip. With the damage it could do, it could pay for 2 riding trips to fix it... Quote
RNBRAD Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 I think balance would defintely be an issue. Quote
sheefreak Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 I had a tooth come off the primary drive gear on my Honda, sounded like a rod nocking. I would wait. Quote

yamahakid1 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 ive rode 3 trips with a tooth broke off on my clutch basket ran fine, finally bought a new clutch basket though, oh yea the idler gear had a washer and a clip come off, dont know if that was the cause? One ride i would think you would be fine, hell mine to this day never made any wierd noises or anything either. Quote

If you are willing to pay out of your pocket whatever additional damages occur by running it...then I'd say go on the trip... Otherwise, wait...and change it. You can run across the freeway in traffic and not get hit by a car...but, odds are against you. Quote

locogato11283 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Posted December 29, 2006 i would go ahead and ride it..i wanna know if it really will break other parts. :biggrin: jk, prolly not a good idea, but i really would like to know if it would hold up.. Quote
fastbanshee4u Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 I would bet it will hold up fine ,unless your doing holeshots on blacktop.I have blown plates apart on blacktop and rode home with no problems,several times.Have fun riding. Quote
okbeast Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Posted December 30, 2006 From plain eyesight there is no cracks or anything in the rest of the basket. If balance is an issue I am curious if taking a tooth off the other side would work or not. I've been off all damn break and haven't been able to ride cuz this stupid thing's been broke. That's what you get with a 2-stroke tho. Quote

That's what you get with a 2-stroke tho. why ask a question and then do what you want to do anyways? Its like you wanted someone to say yeah ride the piss out of it and it will be fine, and then when it breaks you could say its the guys fault in the forum. Get a new one or take the chances, I think you were going to take the chance anyways so why even ask for help. Quote

I guess if he breaks it good, bends a crank, etc., then it's our fault...but it's still coming out of his pocket...either way. Tear it up...make the trip. If you had to make it back to camp, that's one thing, but to ruin a whole trip from the get go...just ignorant IMO.... Just because it might run and go doesn't mean you're not doing long term damage elsewhere....trust me, cranks, tranny, etc. doesn't get cheap, plus...splitting the cases, etc. Right now, you could pull a side cover, replace it, buy a new gasket and fluid and you'd be set. You're risking a WHOLE lot more than that.... Quote
sheefreak Posted December 30, 2006 Report Posted December 30, 2006 The fact that you are going to go ride it anyway is the reason you blame your problems on it being a 2-stroke. Quote
