jacsal Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hi, friends. I have a Sherco 2016 st300 trials bike. The clutch's too heavy. I'd like to know the clutch replacement cycle. The manual says the clutch is up to 2.6 millimeters thick.(per 1 plate) When I measured mine, four were 2.6 millimeters and two were 3 millimeters. I don't know why there are two 3 millimeters in here.I wonder if this is how the new clutch pack works. And the total is 24.0 millimeters. Let me know the thickness of them when combined. Or tell me if I need to replace clutch mineral oil. Thank you, fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpauls Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 You have 6 clutch springs. Take 2 of them out. It will be 33% easier to pull in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saulus Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 The reason there are two thicker plates is the racing friction clutch from 2014 models. Maybe stiffer springs that are reason for heavier pull. Have you tried do drive with 4 springs? Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 I thought it was 2017 when the new clutch came out that Sherco went to mineral oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do those design engineers know anyway, they probably put in extra springs just for fun 🤔🤔🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saulus Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Any experience with the "four spring clutch" by now? Any other suggestions to get the clutchpull a bit lighter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the clutch mechanism is working correctly, lighter weight springs is an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saulus Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Sure but does the clutch slip? Probably depending on the oil used. Where can i buy the softer springs in europe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
