Re: Bad idle sound
With reference to buying a used Clutch basket, just buy a complete assembly where they expose ALL of the clutch discs vs buying just the basket.
The point being; sellers selling the basket alone, well it **may be because** the clutch went bad and they tossed it, so I would avoid those purchases!
I think you'll find the new noise and have that behind you as its likely that bearing.
That said, a replacement clutch basket is not going to make it quiet. Sorry. It will cut the noise in half so to speak as you will only hear the cranks defect come around and meshing its defect once per revolution on the newer CB.
Remember its 1.954:1 ratio so those two defects only pair once in a while (44 & 86 teeth).
So, you need to address the invisble defect on the crank or it is going to make noise, just not as much!
In another thread i suggested a few options to find the issues. Running thin wax paper or even carbon paper though the gears will give you some insight. You have to remove the spark plugs so turns over smoothly by hand as you do this.
Grab a replacement basket and bearing and lets find the defect in the crank.
