Hi all !,
Is it possible to use a CR250 clutch basket for the CR500 ?

I would like to use the Barnett steel momentum basket, or even a Barnett with the steel inserts for a longer service-life.

I think I need to use some part's out of the CR250, does anyone have details ?


Cheers :clink:

It can be done, need to use the inner gear from the 250 and the outer gear from the 500. Trim the OD of the baskets large flange so it doesn't contact inside the clutch case. Needs to use the cr250 bearing collar, washer and lock washer with cr250 hub and pressure plate.

Thanks a lot for this useful info. Do I need to take much off the OD from the basket ? (this would need to be done in a lathe I suppose and would debilitate the basket..)

Not sure if it make sense to use the CR250 clutch, the only attraction for me is to be able to use the Barnett with steel inserts or the Hinson Momentum made out of steel. This should give us a longer service live and the momentum is supposed to enhance traction like a flywheel weight would do...

Cheers
