Any benefit to drilling oil holes in a CB360 clutch basket?
« on: July 15, 2012, 10:47:45 AM »
Is there any benefit to drilling some oil holes in the basket on a CB360 like the basket in CB750?
I have the clutch out now and I notice there are no holes.
Seems like it would help improve oil flow to the plates like it does for the 750.


Meh, decided not to. The metal looks pretty thin, the basket doesn't look as "robust" as one from a 750.
Maybe if I need to change the clutch sometime I'll look at it again.

Can't see a massive benefit in drillign holes ut if you have the thick or duplex drive sprocket on the back of the clutch, splitting that and running a single sprocket has lightening benefits!
