Clutch Options 08 TE450

The wife's 08 te450 has worn out clutch inner and outer basket. Both are heavily notched and when the bike is running you cant select first. If you pull up in first with the bike running its almost stalling.

When i take the cover off and operate the clutch the plates are very sticky.

I have been quoted $1100 for the outer basket and $200 for the inner. Suuuurrely there is some alternatives that dont cost as much.

I was gonna switch to rekluse cos it includes the inner basket, but with the outer basket so worn i am not sure thats a great idea.

What are the alternatives to original Huksy parts, some clutch bits appear to be branded cagiva, would this give me a cheaper way to replace the baskets?

any ideas on alternatives to husky clutch parts?

Ask motorsportz nicely for a recluse your wife will love it , i filed my outer basket with a smooth file until the notches weren't so bad worked a treat , that was 2000kms ago and still it's working fine .

You can also use CRF 450 honda clutch plates in these bikes as well about $80 instead of husky genuine where you have to buy the steels and fibers as well for about $320 .

Go to the barnett clutch website http://www.barnettclutches.com/prod...hes_other&clutch_make=Husqvarna&clutch_cc=450

and search the model of your husky , get the part numbers , then search CRF 450 honda until you find the same part numbers , then order the cheapest ones available as they range from $80 up to $200 i think i got dunlop or a well known name to be safer .

Someone used to repair clutch baskets by machining the fingers and instlalling stainless steel inserts to bring it back to spec.
