just take the clutch cover off and the clutch is there..........................you can do it with engine in frame and if you have the bike on the side stand you can do it without dropping the oil out. Clearly you will lose a little oil and might need to top up afterwards.

once the big nut is off the basket will come off the splined shaft it needs to jiggled a bit and there is a slieve on the bearing that comes out to give a bit of jiggle room

i tried many times ... but it wont came out, the shaft seems to be too long to let the basket out

you need to get the slieve out..............it has little holes in it that helpuse a small screw driver and stick it in the hole to ease the slieve out and the basket will come off.................I promise the basket does come out without a full strip of the engine

i removed the sleeve from the center of the basket with the bearing using a magnet, but i will keep trying if you are aware it should come off without stripping the engine down :)
