kaw rider:
I would think hard about who you have work on your K5 motor, Will it run with the stator the way it is, yes but you could be leaving some power on the table and possible problems down the road soon.

Does anyone know of a way to Keep the clutch basket from grooveing so badly? what about the prox clutch basket, is that steel? Why does no one make an aftermarket steel basket for this bike? I would love to have a hinson basket in this thing OR just get it so I don't have to worry about grooveing. I don't even know the condition of my stock basket yet but I will soon. I am looking on ebay and I dont see much, any suggestions? I would like to get a nice new (or newish) basket for this bike build. any leads? :|
kaw rider:
there are the ones on ebay. You could buy a brand new oem basket. Or you could send me your grooved one and i can fix it.
delphipro5:
Hmmm..... Well, If I get the proX pro basket on ebay I would have to put the gears on it and stuff... I'm not too sure if mine is grooved, I will find out though. How would you fix a grooved basket? What about steel inserts or something? I cant' belive that kawa used a part that grooves so badly! WHY :?
kaw rider:
most cast aluminum baskets will groove :-D Check out talon baskets.
