Hi. I'm looking at doing the clutch basket upgrade soon. Is there anything else i need other than the new basket (primary gear) and new clutch cover gasket? Or that would be good to replace while open?
Any tips for the job? I know youtube has 1 or 2 good vids on it.I’ve done mine. I wouldn’t change anything else, just the basket.
Some change the main nut, I re-used mine and would re-use again. The gasket on mine was fine to use again, but probably best to have one spare, just in case.
I have an online how to do guide if you need it, just let me know.
can i ask if you get a gen 2 basket for your gen 1 and you get new 24,25,26 as well and use the old plates as they don,t need changing can i ask where does the barnett pressure plate go and in the yamaha parts list for the clutch what part does it replace pleaseIts pretty easy.
I would suggest you replace #24-25-26 (about $20) on the parts page. Also you dont need to but I would suggest adding a Barnett pressure plate to the clutch. Better feel, much stronger clamping on the pack, and can have your plates last longer. Outside gasket, many will say you don't need it (I guess its personal)... While tightening the nut you will need a basket holder or a soft piece of copper or aluminum to bind into the gears so you can torque the center bolt. It does call for the use of a brand new center nut. (22) I would but (personal choice)...
Be a bit careful removing and re installing the anti chatter spring in the rear of the basket. Getting it out is not that hard really but re installing it can be a bit of a pain. Make sure the little ears are correct and the bottom is in the groove. Also, try and clock the plates just like the stock ones are clocked currently. Don't forget that the plates behind the anti chatter spring are different, dont get them mixed up in the wrong spot.
If you need any help just hit me up, I can walk you through any part of it...

Its really pretty straightforward, no surprises. There’s are couple of dowels for locating the outer casing, they may stay on the bike or come away with the casing, make sure they don’t fall out and down into the open clutch area. As already mentioned, you’ll need a clutch holding tool, also a torque wrench that goes to 125nm. Note, you don’t need to drain the oil and the job is best done on the side stand.Any tips for the job? I know youtube has 1 or 2 good vids on it.
I don’t think the anti chatter spring and the plates behind it need removing for a basket change.Its pretty easy.

Tabasco, Worked it out. The anti spring and odd plates remain attached to item 3 in your above post number 4. They won’t need touching if just changing the basket.
That’ll work with a pressure plate that uses coil springs, such as the Barnett, but the stock Super Ténéré has a single diaphragm spring.An old motocross trick we done when having the clutch slip was to put one washer on each of the 6 springs on the basket. It always worked well with just a slight pull increase hardly noticeable.
