More money but Rekluse makes a billet cover you can buy with more clearance and should be stronger than the stock cover. It's for their Core EXP clutch but you can get it seperately for $139

Look in mcmaster.com.
I was thinking about a ball bearing, if my tests work I may take an 8mm ish ball bearing and put in there after grinding down my push rod about 5mm. I will get a chance tomorrow to hopefully ride and will keep posting anything I find that might help everyone out.

Default Clay test

I just did a clay clearance test on the clutch basket to cover and it passed no problem. I put clay on 4 or 5 of the high spots and it looked to be 3 mm or more of room. I didn't tighten up the cover, just pressed it on there by hand, but I doubt it would make any difference as it seated against the case.

Default First test ride

So I manged to grab an hour before dark today and put it all together for real and took off for a quickie.

1) The feel wasn't as progressive as the old, grabbed short and quick, but that may have more to do with it not being broken in plus the heavier springs and the fact that my old clutch was worn out making it very progressive. Hopefully it will break in and do better. Very easy to stall on take off. I figure it will either break in or I will adapt. Come to think of it my sons 250 feels more like this, so it may be what I have grown used to. EDIT----took her out again for a longer ride and the feel is getting much better now

2) Would start in gear even before it had time to warm up (see easy stalling above ). That was something I was worried about.

3) Heavier springs were noticeably harder to pull in. I guess there is no free lunch and maybe they will loosen a bit.

4) Didn't want to abuse it just yet, but tried to get the bike in a little bind to see if there was any slip and couldn't find any. Slave cylinder must be within its range and fully releasing.

5) Neutral was very easy to find, even cold

6) No unusual noises or anything unexpected other than what I have stated. I am calling it a success and don't think more riding will reveal anything, but if I do I will post.

If anyone has a question feel free, if this post is stale you may need to shoot me an email telling me you have posted a question.

I have a basket from my 02 CRF450 that I tried to fit when I had my EC250 clutch apart to replace the backplate rivets with screws. It would not work (CRF basket) and if I recall right it was due to size difference of the small inner gear that meshes with the kick start idler. I seem to recall reading that the CRF and earlier CR's use the same basket. I had considered removing the primary gear from the CRF basket to see if I could fit it to the EC basket but decided not to at that time. The 02 CRF fiber discs will fit in the GG basket however, they are slightly thicker. I did use 1 fiber to replace a broken fiber disc in the GG. I know not a proper fix but was in a pinch and it has been working well.

Gyday Guys, just wondering if anyone has done the Honda clutch plates to a 07 Gasgas 300 fitted with a rekluse ? (early Rekluse) I know that you have to maintain a critical gap and with these plates being a bit thicker Im thinking I may have to use several of the Rekluse steel plates which are slightly thinner to compensate.
also what is the Suzuki thrust washer part number that is required ?

Default DPK Clutch kit

Has anyone tried the DPK kit? I was also curious about the barnett kit. I found it for $118 but it was on a one off web site so who knows if they can actually get it or they just list all the barnett part numbers. I have an 03 ec300.
