2005 Gasgas 300 Raga Clutch Movement?

Hi I'm new to trials and I recently bought a 2005 300 raga edition. On my last time out I was practicing slow wheelies up a hill when the engine started knocking a fair bit. We went back to the van and stripped the clutch side down expecting to see something but there was no obvious signs of new damage. But there was a little play in the clutch basket, is normal?

Since then I have totally stripped the engine to check for play in bearings and gears but I can't find anything other than the kickstart idle gear is pretty messy teeth broken. Would that cause a serious knocking sound?

Thanks for the responses guys.

I am going to be replacing the idle gear as that seems to be the only damaged part.

The fan was working before but it did whine once on a trials training day so i gave it a bang and it stopped whining. (much like the missus)

I will make sure the water pump is 100% lined up when i put the engine back together.

As for being brave on a 300 raga, i think im more stupid than braveive crashed this bike more in the few times ive rode it then any other bike in my life. I am planning to reduce the power so its a little more forgiving. :unsure:

If the clutch basket has play, replace the two bearings on the shaft, and check the shaft for play. If shaft has play, replace the big bearing inside the casing (need to take engine appart)

Cheers, the movement is more in and out shaft movment than side to side, but i will double check as the engine is fully stripped already.

THere is a small ''spacer/ hubbie thingie'' with mine(s) it stays in the clutch with dismounting.

Is there anyway you could remove yours like in the video it sounds like it is pressed in like mine. i will try and post a picture soon.

Give it a tap it will come out, But you could just leave it there and refit the clutch as it's not a wear and tear part so will not need replacing.

Just tap it from the side shown in your picture and it will drop out through the centre of the shaft.
