When I changed the oil filter and screen, I found about 30 small pieces of aluminum (1 mm to 3 mm) that look like either piston skirt or clutch basket metal. I am getting a grinding kind of noise when I roll the bike in neutral, not running. And I get a grinding noise when I am riding, when have the clutch pulled in while shifting gears. Also the same noise when I am deaccelerating to a stop, I hear the same kind of noise. It seems to change when I pull in the clutch and let the clutch engage. So I bought a used clutch off ebay for $15 and will pull the side case soon. I expect to see maybe a broken/missing clutch basket finger (I hope). Does this happen to these bikes, or what else could be going on? Also, I expect to change out the whole clutch mechanism, basket, plates, etc and I will have to take it out of the chain, Anything I should pay special attention to? Thanks for any advice.

Do you think that will fit in a 1982 KZ440? It says it came out of a 1977 KZ400. I know that the repair diagrams show different parts for the 77 compared to the 82. Like the thingee that sits next to the ball. I have a complete clutch (I think) that I will be using. Once I pull the old one I will see if anything is missing on the one I bought. Any problems I could run into changing out the clutch?
