[QUOTE="Nestrick, post: 1301010, member: 45162"] The upper photo shows the inside view of the pressure cap ... my buddy opted to drill a 3/16" hole in each of the cast squares between the spring towers, and a slightly larger hole [~5/16"] just outside the square casting. The pressure cap is aluminum so drilling is quite easy ... the unit was clamped in a vice vertically and each hole was drilled horizontally ... these were all done by eye, measurements are not that critical. The lower photo shows the finished part with 12 new inlet holes for oil to penetrate the inner clutch cavity. After careful cleaning and reassembly, the modifications have proven to be completely successful. The clutch no longer has a "vague" engagement feeling and the squawking noise is gone! The bike can be started from a dead stop in 4th gear, with considerable fanning of the clutch at full operating temperatures and not a bit of noise can be heard. On the basis of this result I opted to apply the same operation to my 06 KTM 300 XC-W today ... here's a few shots and a bit of explanation regarding what happened ... interestingly, the clutches on these two bikes are rather different!
