K5 clutch woes.....

(1/2) > >>

-Kama-:
unnngh,......was taking apart the clutch side of my engine in order to tweak the kicker gear as ive read others have done to fix the rounded dogs,.....
My motor has been sitting in storage about 8-9 yrs,  so things are a little "stuck".  while breaking the clutch spring bolts loose,  one of them broke the boss off the inner hub instead of the bolt coming loose (see pic)

My question is,  is there anyone still making aftermarket clutch baskets or parts for the 87 motors?  or what other years is the basket the same in?

Kama,I found this '88 diagram through Service Honda OEM parts supplier XtremeUSA.com

 
http://www.xtremeusa.com/fiche_section_detail.asp?section=381700&category=Motorcycles&make=KAWASAKI&year=1988&fveh=8823
'88 Hub Clutch PN#13087-1098
I'm not sure '88-87 are interchangeable.
 
   
I did find the same # for the '87 clutch hub matches 4 bikes.
 '87 Hub Clutch   PN# 13087-1085
 Model (4):   
KX250-E1 (KX250) (1987)
KX500-C1 (KX500) (1987)
KXF250-A1 (Tecate 4) (1987)
KXF250-A2 (Tecate 4) (1988)

 The '88 tecate is only a year newer but might help...

 I went back to service honda and put in the '87 clutch hub number in the Parts number search.. 
(there is a spot to order parts if you already have a part #)

PN#    130871085            HUB-CLUTCH      81.63      61.51   (your price)

  Give them a call and verify, ask for "Pooh" (as in Pooh Bear)

Tuck,
   You are a plethora of information, a regular cornucopia of knowledge. If I'm ever on "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" you are going to be one of my life lines! :-D

Kama,
   Some won't like this but I ran a clutch hubs like that before with 5 springs in my old KX420.  I didn't notice any difference other than a slightly lighter clutch pull.  Clutch operated fine and didn't slip and lasted the whole season.  Repairing it is the correct thing to do but I don't see any harm in riding it while you search for the part.

I believe the 88 is using the newer style hub, it has a much finer spline. The 86 has the same splen as the 87, but only uses 5 springs. maybe you could tap the boss that broke of and come through from the back side with a screw with a countersunk head and locktite it, since there are 5 more the load may not be to  significant on it. the worse case alternative would be to use a 88 or newer shaft, although not sure that would work either withoput a bit of work since there is a different bearing configuration on the end of the shaft. Of course there is always ebay, they come up occassionaly.
