murph Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hi dont know if anyone can help at all but Im currently experiencing my first case of a dragging clutch on my 06, 25 rev 3. Transmission oil gets changed every couple of rides, I use putoline light gear oil, theirs no clutch slip or loss of feel either but recently its dragging quite bad not as bad as my old montesa but not right. Any ideas ? Thanks Mark PS A mate of mine swears by using ATF is this a good idea ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murph Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks Ill give it a bleed and see how it is after that, I had knocked it on a tree so hopefully that will cure it. Fingers crossed. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbabble Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I've had this on a couple of Betas, in both cases removing the plates and shuffling them round cures it but it comes back eventually - just have to do it again. What I do to clear it on the day is to warm the bike up then set off in first gear, get it revving a bit, pull the clutch in then stuff the rear brake on (keep the revs on). This forces the plates to slip and once done the clutch is fine for the rest of the day - it comes back once the bike has been cold for a few days though then you need to shuffle the plates again. Works for me anyway! I use ATF but it makes no difference in my experience what you use. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
