2003 wr450f clutch question

[graazzy]

When i pulled the clutch plates out to look for notches on the clutch basket fingers,i found two spacer rings that are not mentioned in the workshop manual.They were sitting against the inside face of the basket,one is dish shaped with the words "out side" stamped on it ,The other shaped flat.does anyone no about these, can i leave them out?

No need to leave them out.

They are called -clutch damper spring and seat plate. You need to recheck your manual or check the 426 manual for there location. In my 426 manual it shows they are fitted first upon reassembly, before any clutch plates are fitted.

Have fun
