Trusted by elite factory race organizations including Team Honda, Kawasaki, and Team KTM, this premium upgrade is engineered to handle the relentless abuse of high-RPM competitive racing. Factory cast aluminum clutch baskets are notorious for developing deep ruts and notches along the tang fingers over time. Upgrading to this **akadized billet basket** prevents clutch plates from catching, providing a ultra-smooth lever pull and vastly improved hookup out of the starting gate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProudly manufactured in the USA, each Billetproof basket is meticulously machined from high-tensile 6061 T-6 aerospace-grade aluminum. Following precision machining, Hinson applies a specialized hard-coating process that delivers an incredible five times the wear resistance of standard stock components. This robust engineering minimizes thermal expansion, actively dissipates clutch heat, and completely eliminates basket flexing under hard load. The package comes standard with high-strength button-type mounting screws, allowing you to easily transfer your dependable factory ring gear and hit the track with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTop Features: Hinson Billetproof Clutch Basket\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBillet 6061 T-6 Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision-machined from a solid block of structural aluminum to eliminate flex and withstand high-RPM mechanical stress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProprietary Hard Coat Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Advanced akadized coating yields five times the lifespan of a stock cast basket, permanently resisting plate grooving.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmoother Clutch Lever Engagement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dramatically reduces lever drag and smoothing out modulation for precise shifting through dense ruts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Package Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bundled with button-head mounting fasteners designed to secure your factory backing ring gear seamlessly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease review the detailed compatibility data below to ensure an exact fitment match for your motorcycle before finalizing your purchase.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment List\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 12px; text-align: left; font-weight: bold; color: #333333;\"\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 12px; text-align: left; font-weight: bold; color: #333333;\"\u003eVehicle Brand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 12px; text-align: left; font-weight: bold; color: #333333;\"\u003eVehicle Model \u0026amp; Sub-Model\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003e2017\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003eKTM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003e85 SX (17\/14)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003e2014-2017\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003eHusqvarna\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003eTC85 17\/14\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003e2008-2009\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003eKTM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003e105 XC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003e2008-2009\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003eKTM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003e85 XC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003e2004-2011\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003eKTM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003e105 SX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003e2003-2016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003eKTM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 10px; color: #555555;\"\u003e85 SX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does this basket come with a new starter ring gear attached?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No, Hinson baskets do not include the steel ring gear. The kit includes specialized high-tensile fasteners so you can easily press off your OEM gear and mount it securely to your new Hinson component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why should I choose a billet basket over a factory stock one?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: OEM cast assemblies are soft and develop notches where the clutch disc tabs hit the fingers. This wear causes clutch chatter, erratic engagement, and drag. Hinson's hard-anodized billet completely prevents this issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Do I need to modify my stock internal rubber cushions during install?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: You will need to reuse the factory rubber dampeners located behind the gear ring. Carefully inspect them during swap out; if they are cracked, hard, or shrunken, replace them with fresh OEM rubber cushions before reassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpert Pro-Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e When preparing to install your ring gear onto the Hinson basket, always clean out the threaded holes thoroughly and apply a drop of high-strength red threadlocker to every single supplied button screw. Torque them down strictly to factory settings in a criss-cross pattern. For absolute piece of mind, use a center punch on the backside tail of the screws to lock the threads mechanically—this steps ensures nothing backs out inside your engine case mid-moto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eo \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/motohousemx.com\/collections\/new-ktm-85-sx-performance-upgrades-engine-mods-accessories-moto-house-mx\"\u003eKTM 85 SX Performance Parts \u0026amp; Upgrades\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eo \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/motohousemx.com\/collections\/husqvarna-tc-85-performance-upgrades-engine-mods-accessories-moto-house-mx\"\u003eHusqvarna TC 85 Performance Parts\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eo \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/motohousemx.com\/collections\/ktm-2-stroke-dirt-bikes-performance-parts-accessories-moto-house-mx\"\u003eKTM 2-Stroke Collections\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Moto-House MX, we carry the best brands in motocross and off-road performance.
