Clutch basket
mike the bike:
That thread doesn't answer the question ; are replacement rubbers available and if so, where from.
hairygit:
Send a p.m. to ttr400 on here, he did have some he was offering, he may know where to get some more if he has run out.:)):-

I got some new dampers from ttr400 .... He's in South Africa btw.
He's a 400/4 nut ! Makes all sorts of parts for them and builds specials too.
He sent me the new moulded rubbers segments and the small bolts needed to re-assemble the gear to the basket.
I installed these to my clutch a couple of years ago. I haven't done any real mileabpge since.
There was little change in the noise from my engine which wasn't noisy to start with.
The old dampers in my clutch had not gone that hard - one of the rivets had lost its head
which made the repair worth while.
Update......
After a long trip across the States on his "touring special" 400/4 the supplier discovered that his clutch dampers are getting damaged by the oil or heat or both !!
I'm not sure if he has solved the problem yet.
Lobo:
Mike... the above thread does indeed answer the question... you just have to wade through it a bit (via the embedded link)
As Clem's just mentioned, these dampers are currently n/a, but the website points you to the following email address for further info....
Cheers,
Simon.

Hi Guys,
Update on the clutch damper kit:
Correct in that they did not last with the heat or oil, I did around 13000 Km's. then started to hear a knocking sound from the basket. only managed to change them at around 18000 km's, by this time they had virtually disintegrated.
I am working on a getting them moulded with a material that can handle the temp/and or oil etc.
Will update when ready.
Note: my bike is in the UK at the moment and i will be going back to tour a bit more in June, so will also bring some of the new damper rubbers with me.
