That what I was wondering if Kawasaki did something about the rubber /plastic which is the cause of the knocking noise

So what's the deal with the clutch basket? For reasons yet to be explained, the Kawasaki clutch basket design has hard rubber/plastic bumpers inside the clutch basket assembly, which can disintegrate over time. This allows excessive slop in a system designed to smooth the power delivery from crank to transmission. This slop translates into ugly noise from the motor.
