No rotary table at work. Our shop is terrible. I'm still undecided You could always index off the unworn side...

Many dirt bikes don't have a rear wheel rubber cushion in the hub. That means more peak stress on the clutch plates. Filing works so does machining. Different ways to skin a kat is all and guys will do what has been proven to work. rt

Yeah, my clutch works just fine with the grooves... Go figure!

I was measuring clutch basket pieces for a friend once. We were in two separate R&D labs, I did turbos and he did transmissions, but I knew how to use the measuring devices so I used to do it for him. This was for the second generation of double clutch gearbox at a major auto manufacturer. They didn't seem too worried about the grooves until they got really deep. And their primary concern when designing the clutch baskets was wear on the clutch plates since they have to warranty the clutches in a DCT equipped car.

I took this picture for a customer recently. He said the clutch worked just fine, no need to fix... I said, "alrighty then". (Not that I agreed)

It's from a gearbox on a boring mill... Electro-magnet style. Steel plates only and also steel basket

When I rebuilt my bike, I did the basket just because I knew it wasn't made that way and I felt it might hinder “clutch release”… that was the only reason.
When I did my buddy’s bike I did it because his bike would pull pretty hard when it was put into first gear … and you couldn't get it back into neutral without shutting the bike off or rolling down the driveway.
What I take away from all the guys in this conversation is this:
1. Guys have been doing this on all types of bike clutches for years with no ill effects … it's nothing new. 2. If you have a machine shop it can be done on an indexing table (or rotary table). 3. If you understand machining and know “how to use” the proper file … you can do it that way as well.

It would be nice if someone with a indexing table would do this as a service, or someone make the cover tabs.
