randyrat Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hi folks... really struggling to get neutral, and gears are notchy on my 2000 315R. Any ideas? Already using that really expensive Silkolene oil as recommended here, but no real difference? Any ideas? Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickc Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hi, I've got a 2002 315r and when I first got it suffered really badly with drag. Tried the silkolene oil and changed it a few times but no real difference. Recently put a new clutch in for a similar aged honda cr250, from memory had to leave out one of each plates. Now works so much better, no drag whatsoever, but finding neutral still a bit of an artform! Hope this helps, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donmurray Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 Don't fool around with unusual solutions, when a new the stock clutch works OK. Replace all cork, fibre, and steel plates with a new standard plate set. Change the oil to exactly what the manual specifies. It will disengage fine and have a progressive feel. Install the cork and fibre plates in the correct order. You could put a cross hatch pattern on the steel plates with some 400 grit emory cloth. That will make them retain oil film better.

brock sattelmeier Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I found after switching to Sureflex plates, the clutch worked great and was not so picky about what oil was used. I was very happy with the Sureflex plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew d Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I found this thread very useful, as last Sunday I entered my first trial and made a complete fool of myself! Most of it was me, however the clutch drag which took me in various bushes and trees did not help? At least solving this problem would prevent me falling off for 10% of the incidents I had. I called Haven trials and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew d Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 As promised I installed the new plates over the weekend, a very easy 15 minute job and the clutch is now perfect! No drag, no need to grab the front brake before shifting into gear and much better control. Thanks to Haven and a well spent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
