And this was what this was all for. You can see the grooves worn into the old clutch basket in pic related. You can dress these with a file, but you'll be doing it over and over again. After I put everything back together, the bike rolled much easier in gear with the clutch pulled in than before. That and motoring through the clutch at stoplights was what prompted replacing the basket. Hopefully this solves it.
Thank you for joining me in the conclusion of this clutch dump.
