PROX Clutch Basket for KAWASAKI KX 80 1988-1997

On KAWASAKI KX 80 from 1988 to 1997, the PROX 17.4188 clutch basket fits in place of the original part. Every time the clutch bites, the plate tabs hammer against the basket slots. A notched basket stops the plates from sliding freely: the clutch becomes snatchy and hard to modulate.

When to replace it?
