Hey guys, thanks for keeping the thread bumped. Sorry for the suspense, I'm out of town and am away from my bike, but I've been reading all your posts.
I have not ordered a clutch basket or any other parts yet. Haven't even washed out the sump and basket yet. My last post was the latest work I've done.
I'll take some pictures or maybe a video of the gears when I get home (or not if there are no scars) and start cleaning out the sump and basket. Very glad to hear that I might not need to remove the basket to inspect this. I'm crossing my fingers that there are no scars on the gears since the bike has run for a total of 90 seconds or so since the plate snapped.
If I find scars on the gears I may live with it for a while. I would probably ride the bike and keep an eye out for a good basket for sale. Not sure yet. The minor sound FinalImpact mentioned will probably not bother me, but I would like to avoid creating more aluminum shavings running through my engine. Filing and smoothing out a scar on a gear is something I don't know anything about.
When I get everything put back together, I was thinking of running some 10w40 I need to get rid of, changing it after a few days for some more 10w40, and dumping it again for 10w30 to maybe get some particles out of spots I didn't reach.
Stay tuned for the gear inspection!
