I got mine on ebay for $10.00 for corks & springs and another better one for $15.00 for just the corks. Don't just search for KLR, but the clutches from a KZ1000, ZX-7, ZX-9, etc. are the same. They retail for ~$30-$105 depending on where you shop, and whether-or-not you are also buying springs and/or steels too. Mark B2 A2 A3> How much does a new one cost?

Is it typical to re-use the steels?>I got mine on ebay for $10.00 for corks & springs and another better one >for $15.00 for just the corks.

I re-use 'em and I think most people don't get new ones unless they're warped (the steels, that is).

<><><><><><> <><><><><><> Thomas, I'm kind of curious as to what's wrong with the current clutch parts. I think if I was replacing a clutch in my KLR I'd be looking at DP and stock parts. I'd probably be deciding on what to use based on time constraints, price and availability. The OEM parts in my bike have lasted over 30,000 smiles and are still going strong as far as I know. I'm not going in to look at them until I need to remove the right side cover for something. I'd really be inspecting the clutch basket to make sure the "slots" where the disks slide are smooth. No point in putting new parts in with worn parts that will cause premature failure. Also, if I was inside my KLR on the right side I'd be replacing the Spring, Change Lever, part number 92081-1493. You can learn more about it in a Clymer's Manual in Chapter Six. My Clymer's has info on page 148 and figures 48 and 49 show it installed and removed. If this spring breaks the bike won't shift. The spring holds the shift pawl in contact with the shift cam which is sometimes called the shift star. Break the spring and gravity moves the pawl away from the cam. No contact, no shifting. MSRP on the spring is $4.60. Last week my local dealer wanted $6.99 for one and they'd have to order it. Ron Ayers dot com had it for $2.86. I'm keeping one on my shelf just in case. If I take a trip I'll carry it with me. Most don't break but after 30,000+ smiles I figure it's done it's share of springing and a new spring might be a good idea.
