I'm a victim of bumper disintegration in my clutch basket. Besides the awful clicking there was the telltale debris in my oil screen. I tried another used clutch from Ebay but it had the same problem.

Are there any manufacturers that make aftermarket clutches for the F model 250's? I'd rather not give Kwakasaki $250 for a clutch that may develop the same problem.

I'm looking for aftermarket clutch baskets. They documented the nature of the problem over on Ninja250.org (http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/What%27s_that_noise_coming_from_the_clutch%3F).

Look on Ebay.

I did, I got one advertised in good condition with 4000 miles that had the shot bumpers exactly like mine.

Maybe see if a new gen basket will work/fit.

Ouch, I know how hit and miss it is though. We had to get 3 new gen front rotors before we got a good one to do our wheel swap on the old gen. Try again, it's still got to be cheaper than a new one. Or, I can look in my stack of motors and see if we have a good one.

Thats just for clutch plates, although they may be the same the baskets can still be different.

The basket on the new gen has springs instead of that rubber crap. Dont really see why it wouldnt work.......
