Title: Clutch baskets
Post by: skiracer on August 26, 2021, 03:38:35 PM
On a 76 250 motor, which is a better clutch basket; one with 10 tines or one with 12 tines?

So I was able to find a photo of the 10 tine clutch; I think it is from a 1980.  Any thought which would be better to use?

I've never really had any problems with the clutches themselves on early KTM. The weak link in my opinion is the actuating mechanism.
