so I dont quite understand how that is normal wear for such low miles on this bike, esp since it hasnt been raced etc.
I thought the "wear items" were the steels and fibers... r u suggesting that the basket and drum are also wear items?
so then I have to ask yet again... where does this end? and what good is the warranty?

For those of you with a 2000/2001, you dont need the Muzzy Clutch Kit!!!...All you need is,
An OEM 2002 clutch Hub and hub bearing sleeve, 10 2.0 steels, 11 same size frictions ( no small frictions or clutch rings ), 6 ZX6r clutch springs from a 2000, and a Falicon Billet Basket with the gear-which can be purchased through Muzzy!!!
If you have a 2002/2003 all you need is 10 2.0 steels and 11 same size frictions ( no small frictions or clutch rings ) and the Billet Basket!!!
Fish, dont worry about the stack height!!!...Nothing is going to happen with the new height!!!...After you install the items I listed just take note of the new stack height and that will be your guide!!!

yer missing my point cr... I already have the muzzy kit spare a new basket... is it okay to use this basket ... if not then should it be replaced under the amazing "good times" warranty as it is NOT a wear item (ie: fiber, brake pad etc etc) or what?

Fish youre funny...lol. Where is that picture of you doing a burnout? 
Clutches, tires, brakes, gas...all need to be replenished from time to time...lol
Unfortunately for you the dealer doesnt want to "help" you very much. My 1st clutch was replaced under warranty. I was grateful enough and learned my lesson. The billet basket is cheap insurance and wont void your warranty. Go for it Fish...go for it! You need it...hehe

Listen the clutch hub and basket is made out of soft aluminum, you are transferring a couple hundred horsepower through the little edges of the fibers then through the edges of the metals. The aluminum will mash down a bit, this is the most powerful powerful motorcycle ever released and it is delivering power through a clutch not much bigger than what is in a 175. You have to understand materials and the effects they will have on each other. What I see is normally seated in. Maybe that explains it better than normal wear.

I'm on-board with Ted n Mike...NORMAL wear...
I don't have time to go in-depth about pack heaght right now but...
FISH...put the pressure plate on the hub BEFORE you install the last couple of plates and take a GOOOD mental note of what it would look like...looking through the oil fill hole in the clutch cover...OK???
NOW...when your NEW MUZZYs clutch wears (and it WILL) to the point where the pressure plate is CLOSE to what it looks like with the pressure plate "bottomed out on the hub"...you will need to ADD ONE STEEL PLATE to the pack to get FULL USE out of your new plates...
This is pretty much the ONLY THING that Doug and I dis-agree on...I have done this to SEVERAL ZX12s to get the "full life out of the new plates"...
Look at your pressure plate through the hole when the motor is COLD...the plates are "thinner" when it's cold...
More later IF you need/want...
