    Tri-z Clutch basket question

    What are you tri-z guys running? I tried looking for aftermarket clutch baskets but seems I am SOL.

    So far I crossed part numbers and found the following models swap below swap. However most any 30 year old basket is going to be groved like saw teeth. Trying not to file down the fingers if I do not need do. Rather would replace with somthing billet alum and wear coated if I can since I am in here. Wondering if anyone swaped somthing else like banshee or blaster since sometimes things still fit but have different part numbers.

    1986 TRI-Z - YTZ250S CLUTCH
    1983 IT250K CLUTCH
    1983 IT490K CLUTCH
    1983 YZ250K CLUTCH YZ250K L
    1984 IT490L CLUTCH
    1984 MOTOCROSS - YZ490L CLUTCH
    1985 MOTOCROSS - YZ490N CLUTCH
    1985 YZ250N CLUTCH
    1986 YZ250S CLUTCH
    1986 YZ490S CLUTCH
    1987 MOTOCROSS - YZ490T CLUTCH
    1988 MOTOCROSS - YZ490U CLUTCH

    83-87 yz 250 is the only option for aftermarket. there used to be a Company called Talon that made them over seas. google them and see if they still make em.
    other than that, you will have to see if you can find a Sprock basket. Try greg at off-road innovation. He had some sprock leftovers for sale for a while.
    Here is where my long useless list of stuff nobody cares about should go...

    Does your contact mean "clutch basket" rather than "clutch cover"? 200 is a good price. I have a Sprock basket but if I get another Z this is good to know.

    It's in and running. Clutch pull is a tiny bit smoother but can't really tell a difference. Ss long as it doesn't groove like a stocker I'm happy. I did have to remove a little bit of a casting mark on the inside of the clutch cover that was rubbing.

    Sweet, looks beefy. I've got a Sprock basket. It's similar but each finger on the basket is machined down the center to about the midpoint--like the stock basket.

    Wow, that thing looks beefy! I ordered what looked like a decent used one on eBay that hasn't arrived yet. If it's not a good as I'm hoping I'll have to look into one of those. Does it use the Yamaha plates?

    They did that because it rubs on the inside of the clutch cover. I had to remove a little rib 1/16 deep about 1/2 inch long then it cleared.
