1989 KDX200 Sheared Clutch Pressure Plate

Post by btoldi »

I just got a project 1989 KDX200 and the guy said the there was an issue with the clutch. When I took it apart I found out the clutch pressure plate (or 13086-1060 WHEEL-CLUTCH from the parts diagram) had basically sheared off the entire middle section, as you can see in the picture below. I have worked on quite a few bikes but have never seen this. I am assuming the previous owner just didn't put the clutch back together correctly, but I just want to see if anyone else has had this issue before. I just want to make sure there is not something worse going on. Thanks in advance.

Looks like installation error on his part.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Unfortunately this is one of those parts that I guess they don't manufacture any more so I'll just be checking eBay until I find one.

Does anyone know exactly what this piece is called? From the part diagram its called a Wheel-Clutch, but I've heard people call it the clutch pressure plate. Just trying to refine my parts search.

It's called a pressure plate. I might have a spare one if you're interested.

Yes, that would be great if you do! I've been looking everyday for almost a month now and can't seem to find one that fits my year bike.

You might give Fredette Racing a call (708) 946-0999, he has a lot of NOS parts on hand that you can't get anywhere else
