I noticed a small crack in the basket during a clutch replacement. I don't think it's worth the risk to keep it and I'm going to replace it. I was wondering, what would the rest of you do?

Well, it is on the end and it is part of many so IF you couldn't find a replacement you could blend the crack out and smoothe the area. it would probably be ok but I would most likely replace it. -

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

Replace it, there's really no other choice. Should you loose a piece of that in your clutch no telling the damage it could cause.
'82 and '83 GS1100E's are pretty well known for their clutch issues, but I haven't seen one like this.Comment

The hub has signs of wear at every point of contact from the plates as well as what look like signs of stress in spots. I would replace; a busted chunk of aluminum between two meshing gears is a lot more expensive.Last edited by Guest; 04-06-2013, 06:58 AM.Comment

that is an inner hub...not a basket.
the mark is casting...have seen same mark in same area on other 1100/1150's
the wear marks are normal in the splines.
buy a new one if you want but i wouldn't sweat it.
where is you cup/shim/steel plate and piano wire at dude?Comment
