your clutch is either way out of adjustment, or they are just gone. plus you need this moved to the 250r forum.

when it creeps and adjusted properly, it is most likely from a clutch basket with deep "grooves " in it.

you can file them down but it will never work like a new one..

i reccomend getting a oem replacment or an aftermarket one (will last alot longer)

oh ya and replace the clutch plates with a new basket.

[mikes450r]

my bottom adjustment has to ran all the way towards the back of the quad for me to be able to make any adjustments on the top....

how much do you think that would run me?

[ZRider400]

order your parts from www.servicehonda.com

def go with OEM clutch plates.......those are the best.

you can get a p/e billet basket thats alot like hinson from www.magicracing.com

or a stock basket that comes with a whole new gear on it for cheaper.

if nothing is wrong with the gear and the basket is grooved buy a aftermarket..

I had to get a new oem basket once after breaking a tooth of the gear and the second ride on the new oem basket the thing broke..

with the bike creeping I would say the clutch is bad, grooves usually make the cltch feel notchy.

ive heard different. (and have experianced it with my old 250R)

ive heard that the when the clutch is pulled in..(which disengages the clutch) the grooves hold the plates close together and dont let them slide appart.... making the quad creep

[mikes450r]

well im going to take it apart tonite...will be my first time doing this...never even seen the inside..i hope its the clutch..seems to be cheaper to replace..i will post what it looks like tomorrow..thanks

[mikes450r]

hey guys i just took off the clutch cover....the basket is all rusted up...lots of rust in there...whats the best way to take the basket out...i see the center bolt but whats the way to hold the basket..thanks for the help..mike

Its your clutch basket. It happened all the time to my 125 mx dirtbikes. Whenever your hard on a clutch it will groove the basket. Buy a new basket and you'll be set. ;)

[mikes450r]

ya...thats what it looks like..should i also buy a new clutch...it was never slipping or anything..how much is a clutch basket and what kind should i get

[mikes450r]

nevermind im retarded..that would be the fly wheel that i was looking at....lol....i took the right side off this time...the basket fingers have little grooves on them ranging from 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch...what do you guys think about this...is that enough to cause problems like i have...or do you think its just my clutch...thanks for the help ....mike

[Bill Fuller]

You should definatley look at replacing the basket.I have had great luck with Hinson.Now did I read correctly did you say there is rust in your engine???That problem needs to be addressed imediatley.

[mikes450r]

i wasnt thinking and took off the other side cover....that has the fly wheel in there

[mikes450r]

[mikes450r]

Some motors have rust in there and some motors don't..... im not sure why but thats just the way it is.

I would buy...
Barnett springs
Stock 250r clutch plates
and a aftermarket basket

and that should fix you right up.:cool: Hopefully.

[mikes450r]

hey guys just got the clutch and clutch basket...just had a few questions...do you new clutch plates have to go in a certain way??and is there any torque setting for the five front bolts on the front???
