- This video is a description of how to file/grind the wear grooves that develop in your dirt bikes clutch basket over time. I tried to be as detailed as I could with lots of video angle and explanation.

Thanks mate from Australia. Well done cheers.
I’m glad it helps!
Hey buddy thanks a million for this.
For sure brother!
Great job brother!
Thank you!
Great background music and helpful information 👍
I always wondered about removing these groves...I'm trying it tonight..maybe next time I'll replace....may even be ideal to drop both parts off at the machine shop..let them hit it for an hour....probly would even last longer as new
+1 for the Angel Vivaldi in the background :)
I was hoping someone would pick that out!
Mine is grooved about as bad as yours is... Do you think you could only refinish them once before you get too much slop in the plates?
good question, I would take a measurement of the original width, once you start getting to the point where you’ve removed maybe 5% (10%max) of the overall width, then I would probably replace it. But go with whatever you’re comfortable with ultimately. That would really be a question for an engineer and a question you might never be able to track down the best answer too. From what I’ve seen in my experience… that’s what I would do for my personal bike. But also, if you’ve done this maybe 3x. I would probably replace it after that. It will have a lot of fatigue in it at that point.
Mine have marks but I can’t say notches. I think it’s ok however the bike I’d hard to push while in gear with the clutch handle pulled in. Is that a symptom?
It sounds like your clutch isn’t fully disengaging, could be worn and needs replaced. The grooves in the basket usually make it chatter when you’re starting to move
Got an 05 Crf 250r. No matter how I have the clutch adjusted, it stalls when you knock it into first and will not roll in any gear with the clutch pulled in.
Doesn’t slip under WOT…wonder if the basket is groved or just bad plates from sitting.
I recently changed my clutch plates on my yz250. My bike was stalling like you when I went in first gear with clutch in. After I changed my plates it stopped doing it. But when changing my older plates some of them were stuck together since my basket was notched. When your basket is notched some plates stay stuck together since they have a hard time disengaging.
You could skip the part of using a file on your basket *BUT* the same problem will happen AGAIN!
New clutch plate kit + using a file on my basket fixed all my problems!
@@micbmxer3658 it ended up being a grooved clutch hub. 60$ for a new pro x and she’s good as new. Basket itself was perfect still.
the middle is getting filed more than the rest and the top is getting filed more than the very bottom. how did this work out for you? definitely has to be better than all those notches even if its not perfectly even?
It worked our great, if you keep even strokes, pressure and a full sweep, the difference between top and bottom is very minimal if any, not enough to make a difference anyways.
@@kyle4pres08 awesome, thank you for the response. im getting ready to attempt it and i just want to be extra sure i dont mess it up. nice to know these minor discrepancies wont cause an issue.
@@godw1ll99 for sure, it worked great for us, no issues at all. Would do it again in a heartbeat
I'm gonna let this marienate a bit
You got a problem with Canadian Goose’s you got a problem with me. I’d watch kids falling off bikes all day.
I did buy a new mill file and cleaned up my clutch basket a couple weeks ago. Do something you love, and you never work another day in your life.
This sounds like my shed, Polyphia playing in the background🙌😃
Give me a flap disc and a grinder I’ll have it done in less then five minutes
