Ok guys i got all my stuff to do the clutch and pulled my rm125 apart. Then i get all the plates out and my basket has some really deep groves in it. It pretty much showed me why my clutch wouldn't disengage. So the question is what basket is the best for my buck? O or should i look at a kit that does inner hub, basket, and pressure plate?

Hinson and others make good products, but OEM may be cheapest.

I like the Barnett clutch basket with the steel inserts, that's what I run on my bike. Hinson and Wiseco also make very good baskets.
Check the inner hub for grooving if it is showing wear then if you have the money it would be worth replacing.
If you pressure plate is not warped an aftermarket is a "nice to have" but not really a requirement.
For an RM 125 I think Hinson is the only one that still makes the Pressure plate and Inner Hub.
If you are going to keep you bike it is worth spending the extra to get an aftermarket basket, you will have to pull the ring gear from the stock basket and install it on the new basket. You can remove it with a hand held drill but is quicker with a drill press.
If you are looking at trading/selling in the next year or so a new stock basket will save you time and money in the short run.

yea I just bought a hinson for $40 from ebay and it is in excellent shape. If your pressure plate is good all you need is a basket. But now if I were going to buy one new I think I like the Barnett one with the replaceable stainless steel inserts, thats a good idea and a basket for life there.
