Hi guys I'm replacing my clutch and I've had to buy a new washer that goes in between 1 of the plates I'm unsure where it goes and 1 of my plates is smaller than the others and don't know where that goes either I'm hoping someone can help thanks I've uploaded a pic of the clutch

I put it all back in and the revs still die down when I pull the clutch in and when I put it in natural the engine vibrates where the clutch is

As said the clutch is weighted and needs to be balanced properly.
If the clutch is REALLY bad, then sounds like it hasn't been timed correctly with the balancer shaft.
Has the engine been rebuilt?
Remember, it is a two stroke, expect vibrations. Again it comes down to how bad.
Could be lose engine mounts...

@Calum it only happens when I put it in natural and let my clutch out as soon as I pull my clutch in it stops but then the revs die down its only started doing this since I put the new clutch in

@Ricky And again to confirm, you definitely balanced the clutch properly as I described?
The clutch springs the old ones? Are they within tolerance? Are they torqued appropriately.

@Ricky Don't really know what to suggest then.
Could be worn primary drive bearings and pulling the clutch out exacerbates things.
How many miles has the engine done, and has it ever been rebuilt?

@Ricky Well if it's original internals then it could be knocking, which will mean it'll need a rebuild.
if it's been rebuilt then it could be that it hasn't been assembled properly, and the engine hasn't been timed up properly. But the vibration when the engine isn't timed up is really bad!

2 stroke KTMs are renound for an unusual sound if you aren't holding the clutch in but what you are describing seems like more than just this..

Go back in and check the torque on the nuts, is it noisy? like a continuous ticking sound? Clutch plates are slipping if the revs are dying, Re-adjust the clutch action on the clutch itself.
Mine did this once, but vibration suggests bearing, or loose plates, which seems unlikely.

What's the best way to put the metal plates in sharp side facing the engine or the smothered side I've been told it doesn't matter as long as there all the same way
