jon0881 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I've still not got round to do any work on my poor scorpa. Disc floats still seized on, headstock bearings. God knows what else. I do change the oil frequently though with ATF. The clutch is stuck on for about 5 mins but after it's warm and a few flicks it unlocks and works if not a little snatchy. To prevent this should I strap the clutch up when not in use? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breagh Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 I wouldn't,before you start it rock the bike back and forward in 5th gear with the clutch in. Should free it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy m Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Most bikes will do this when left for a long period, just the plates have dried out. Every time you run it get it warm and make sure it is free. Nothing to worry about unless it won't free off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon0881 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Cheers. Will try the 5th gear trick if I don't have a safe area to warm it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 If its a Yamaha engined Scorpa it should probably use 20w50 or 10w40 not ATF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Clutch fix pinned to the top of the Beta forum may help. They're all basically the same except for the GasGas clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridgrunr Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I run Maxima 75 wt lite transmission fluid in my 08, Yamaha engined SY250. I've never had the clutch stick, and there's no drag. In a lot of bikes, it makes a difference what type of ATF you are using. In my 02 Montesa 315R we've tried a lot of different fluids in the tranny is real particular. The one that works best is Valvoline Maxlife. It's a full synthetic in the red bottle. Clutch is like butter with the Maxlife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwilson Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I use Mobile 1 Synthetic ATF in my 03 SY250R and it solved all the problems of the clutch sticking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
