125-200cc 2000 cr125 clutch at end of lever?

I assume that my clutch is worn out but am unsure if it will need a basket.

I have about 10mm of clutch play all the way at the end of the lever. I also get some clutch drag when at idle and trying to find neutral is hard.

With the condition the bike was in, I am figuring a minimum of plates, frictions, and springs.


How common is it for the basket to need replacement?

I vaguely rember the previous owner saying the clutch was worked on but still was dragging and might need a basket.

Searching revealed baskets are outrageously price :O


Any hints or tips?

As far as the clutch basket, Fast by Ferracci sells a nice basket for relatively cheap. As long as you have the 2 piece drive gear

I see that they only list for the 250...does the 125/250 use the same clutch by chance?

I believe they are different. Sorry for the false lead.

But KTM-Parts has just the basket for yours listed on their website. Their back order system on Husky parts isn't that great so you don't know if it is in stock until a few days after your order.

Another option would be to call Bill's Husky. I recently replace the basket in my 250 and they had a used one in their shop that they shipped out that day.

To address your other questions:

The free play is pretty normal and you should be able to adjust the cable and remove that. As for the dragging, mine was doing this pretty bad even with new plates, basket, and springs. I switch the gearbox oil to ATF and the problem went away. What kind of oil are you running in your gearbox?
