What does the rear sprocket look like?
Kind of worn. Dosent feel like a skipping chain problem. Unless its just me. Its like slip,grab,slip,grab,slip,grab not just a continuous slip (like a worn sprocket)

out of your mind. I have a Hinson and works hell of a lot better than the notched up POS that was in from the factoryYou really want an OEM basket for the RM it's much better and cheaper than the Hinson.
are there pics of the old gal somewhere?speaking of aftermarket clutch baskets, wish this rm had a hinson lol its still got the stock basket

I could be looking at it in bad light, but I see at least two shifting forks that I would replace while you have it down. It would be so hard not to want to replace 4th and 5th (at least) with ones from a WR 426/450 while I had it down that far. (add three teeth to the back and you have a low gear you can do some better low speed work with and still have about 8 mph more on top end). 5th at the very least.
I have yet to have a problem with washers, spacers, and bushings that aren't damaged. When you look at the side to side movement that each shaft had from the factory you get less worried. If you think your bike may benefit from some more careful shimming I would be glad to tell you how I do it.
Take the advice given on the gear dogs.
those tiny little thin washers I just replace since they are so cheap. $8 and its a piece of mind same with that circlip. If I would have replaced them the 1st time I wouldn't have had to do it the second time... I also do all bearings the 1st time I split a case.... cheap insurance. I would like more info on the gear shimming. That's some good info for the tech page here on DBA
