KX Guru Racing

Mike, I ordered all new 87 clutch parts (basket, pressure plate, hub, springs) and put them in today and I think it's working! I hooked the cable up and can pull the lever and get movement on the rack. I knew it was right when I put the clutch cover on and it went right on without any playing around...

Mike, let me run this by you. I just noticed the washer under the clutch basket nut was not bent up around the nut. Could that have any effect on this clutch problem I'm having? Would that maybe make the rack pin sit a bit higher? I know, I know, I'm reaching for answers now! :-) Anxious to get the ...

Mike, I think I'm going to go back to that older clutch cover I thought was from an RM125. It's actually from an 86-87 RM250 (00B20). The guy I bought the bike from might have bastardized the parts from all years and maybe that's why I'm having clutch pull issues. The covers look the same but who kn...

Thanks for the links in to your Facebook groups. I'm kind of hesitant to post anything Suzuki related as they seem like KX groups. :-) Anyway, I'm just going to install all the new clutch parts I have coming in for the RM250, button the case back up, and just go with it. It's either going to work or...

Mike, someone on a board I'm in has stated that his 88 clutch did the same thing. He says it cannot be moved by hand and that is extremely tight feeling. I thought I'd be able to have the clutch release when the cable was hooked up and the lever pulled. Mine sure doesn't.

Try that, Mike.

Mike, yes, that is the clutch setup diagram. Today, I tried putting on an old set of clutch plates and springs to see if that did anything. Still nothing is moving. I have a short video clip of the pin with the cover on trying to move it. It will turn and push the cover plate off if I push the lever...

MIke, there's not supposed to be a small ball bearing that sits under the rack pin in the case, is there? People are insisting this is why my clutch won't pull but the diagrams do not show a ball bearing in there!

Also, clutch plates are 15 total, 7 drive and 8 of the driven....or visa versa..

Mike, there is "26C" on each of the three main pieces on the clutch. I broke down and ordered a Mitaka basket online today. I couldn't locate any 88 specific clutch pieces so this was the only other option. I drilled out a gear from the second basket I have and hope it works. I also ordered a new ra...

Mike, the water pump impeller you showed was not the correct one. It was actually the longer version I had. Ok, now a major problem that I tried to not lay on you as I know I've picked your brain more than anyone on this rebuild. But, I'm stuck, really stuck! I assembled the engine and got it back i...
