Clutch basket hub broke

[Skynut]

So I pulled my primary to check things out and change the oil. I am glad I did.
I found the clutch basket was very loose and apon further investigation I found it was totally broke.

Maybe this is why it was slipping.

It is supposed to look something like this.

But instead it looks like this.

the good news is that the broken part seperates from the rest of the basket and Arlen Ness can order the part for me for ~ $81.00.
It is supposed to be in on Friday.

I sure would like to upgrade to an open belt.

That’s the old model. Call Dog they will probably fix it!!!!!!! 05 and earlier!!
Surprised it lasted this long!!!! Been taken it easy or what?????

 

[N8KAM]

Man i hate seeing those pictures.... Makes me nervous.....

 

[bdmridgeback]

I think at some point or another, all, and I mean all the 2005 Baker shit carriers will fail!!! Give it time...

It is the weakest point in the bikes drivetrain.

From this POS:

To the new Billet Bandit carrier:
(This one won't break!!!)

...And upgrade from the stock BDM clutch on the right to the Bandit Clutch on the left:

 

[Skynut]

I just called the parts departmet and ordered the a new part, I hope they send the new design.
How would I contact them about an out of warranty issue like this?

They won’t send ya the old one, if they do shove it up their asses!!!
The holes on the new one are "D" shaped. :2thumbs:

Thanks for the info, I will look for the "D" shape when I pick it up.

How much is this upgrade?
I really want to get an 3" belt set up but funds are low right now.

This Bandit clutch is EASY pull and HOOKS UP!!! 10 times better than the stock and Bandit says you can put whatever horsepower to it you want and it will take it!!!

And Jake... I think what makes them hook up so much better is the spring set up vs the pressure plate.

The RMD open belt drive like mine comes with a banditt setup similar to that.
