help clutch

I own a 2002 Venture, I love this bike but the Clutch and gears whine. I have been informed that I can replace the clutch basket with a newer one. But I can not find a parts number. where I live we have no Yamaha dealer and so I need to find a number. my mechanic called Winnipeg and asked about the newer basket "I" basket it is called. I need a parts number for the newer clutch, not the "G" but the "I". any help would be a blessing

I would look into getting a Barnet Clutch Upgrade done! I'm sure there is some one here that can steer you in the right direction.

I really hope so.

This is from the delphiforums site :

Yamaha "I" Clutch Basket #: 4XY-16150-09

A thread I started in 2012 - http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=74730

See http://www.venturerider.org/modules/News/showarticle.php?threadid=20185

Note from this link :

"Part # 4xy-16150-09-00 was on the box here is my sick part

Number on the actual basket is 26H01 T-3."

Along the outer area of the basket you'll see a letter stamped in the metal. You want the one that has an "I".

** good picture in this thread of a "G" basket http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=42428

Here are the bulletins I could find from a source I have.

looks like the "I" basket is special order by the dealer thru area factory rep.

Maybe Freebird or one of the moderators could get these added to the Gen 2 tech section.
