Can you remove the clutch basket without a special tool? I need to remove / replace  my timing chain and guides. Thanks

I just replaced my cam chain, tensioner and guides this weekend. I removed the basket with 12mm sockets (back each spring out only partially, alternating left/right and top/bottom and take your time) then used a 1 and1/4 socket to remove the nut. The clutch nut is regular thread; the 30mm nut for the primary drive gear (the bottom gear the cam chain is on) is LEFT handed thread, so be careful on that one. Don't forget to bend up the locking tabs; I used a cheap little electric impact with no problems. Hold the clutch basket with your other hand while taking off the clutch basket center nut and when putting it back on so it don't spin. No tool needed.

32mm for the clutch basket, 10mm for the springs.
Break both the primary and clutch.
A penny between the primary and secondary gears works if you can't stop it any other way.

Thanks Vers, couldn't remember if it was a 12 or a ten on the springs. Didn't have larger than a 30 metric for the basket, just letting ya'll know what I used and it didn't grind the edges at all. A penny? hell that's a lot easier than using my hand while holding the impact with the other. Smiley

NO one has reported a problem using the penny, I just prefer leather. A folded piece of leather stuffed in there stopped it just fine.
