bilks Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hi 450cc oil for your gearbox,maybe the bearing in the fan has dried out,which can happen if a jet wash has been used when cleaning the bike, As for the clutch see if its any better with the new oil in your transmission.

copemech Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Never trust a clutch on a trials bike after sitting. Put the bike in 4th gear and sit on it to rock the bike and break the clutches before starting motor is your best bet, even so use caution. Never ride the bike after washing without inspection/ protection(prior) of air filter and airbox for water entry. You gotta len the bike oer to get ols erl out!

taffe Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hi, Had the same issue with my Beta 250 and the with my 2007 Sherco, [have the same clutch plates] I fixed them both by following the great info in the Beta forum, "Clutch Fix". A lot of work but no more stuffing around when starting the bike, I always kick it into gear with the front break on though. Worth the effort I recon. Cheers Taff.
