Do they (Barnbett and EBC) sell parts specific to the KLX ? Do you have part numbers or a link ? I may go down this road eventually.
IDRIDER , great job on the pics. It's funny how, no matter how clean you think you have the bike, once you start tearing it down you will find tons of dirt. You will appreciate the 351, no doubt about it. Have fun.

I need to get that tub of soapy water handy like you did.Barnett has part numbers on their web site. I just found some stuff on Perfect Brakes web site. www.perfectbrakes.com - buy EBC Brakes products online
Plates only
CK4469
EBC Replacement Clutch Plate Set
A direct replacement for the OEM unit made with an impregnated "cork" based lining that emulates the stock unit, but enhances clutch feel and lifetime.
Price: $68.00
Dirt Racer rebuild
DRC212
EBC Dirt Racer Clutch Rebuild Kit
The perfect clutch rebuild for every ATV and MX bike, featuring a complete engine set of friction plates with upgrade clutch springs and pin planished steel separator plates. These wear longer than the stock alloy units, prevent "muddying" of the lube system and increase engine flywheel effect, actually improving engine performance due to the slightly heavier component mass of the steel plate set. Being a complete rebuild kit, the DRC set completely re-sets the all important stack height to its original dimensions whereas simply replacing plates can lead to the same slippage problems.
Price: $73.00
For a few bucks extra, it sure looks like the Dirt Racer kit is the way to go. I recall others here complaining about the EBC springs, so will get the Barnett springs and toss the EBC springs in the spare parts pile for emergency use.

+1 on the part numbers for clutch parts etc.
The sub frame changes I made were to stiffen up the cheesy stamped cross member where it cracked due to flexing caused by my bad design on the first rack I built. I think the sub frame tubes are pretty strong as is as long as the weight isn't too far out from the back of the seat.

I'm planning on following your rear rack method, so may as well beef up what needs to be done. I've carried some serious weight back there through the ruff stuff, and am surprised nothing broke yet. Living on borrowed time.

Customer service is important to my business!! I'll check with my Moto One guy tomorrow to get this stuff ordered, and will post up some costs. Also need to get in touch with Mr. Blue to get a box in the mail.
Time to quit farting around here and get to work. Should have more pics later.

Tear Down Part III
LATE EDIT: CHECK VALVE CLEARANCE BEFORE REMOVING CAMS.
Cams. Need to check tolerances.
ACR Side
Don't forget the motor mount.
We have lift off
Keep the chain from falling through...maybe
Or, just open the bottom end cover and don't worry about it.
Sliders look okay to me.
More buildup on the piston than I've seen in other pics. Rich?
Is it worth trying to index the spark plug so the spark front faces the intake?
Here's a swell setup for removing the head bolts using a ratcheting unit on the hex wrench.
That's it for the motor tonight.

I spoke with Bill Blue this morning and will be sending my cylinder his way, hopefully today.
My local shop is ordering the EBC Dirt Racer kit ($62) and Barnett springs ($18).
