MTHEAD Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Hello all, I am sure its been hashed and rehashed but I can't seem to locate the topic cleanly. My desire is to lighten the clutch lever pull on a 2014 Beta 300 2T. I have experimented in the past with removing two springs on enduro bikes, I am, however somewhat hesitant to do this on my Beta for various reasons. At one point came across a thread in which a member, I believe it was Lineaway chimed in with a set of alternate springs that seemed to be just the ticket. I can't remember it was even a Beta that was referred to. If anyone has suggestions or can point to a solution, I'd be much appreciative Thanks, -ADAM- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgasman280- Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hansen and Hippel racing do a 2 mil larger slave cylinder than will fix your problem. Two springs out works too. Did that to my last bike with zero problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapezeartist Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 I ran my Beta 250 with two springs removed. I liked it and didn't have any issues with clutch slip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTHEAD Posted April 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Firstly, I do appreciate you fellas weighing in. I tried the two out option, and experienced slippage in 5th and 6th...probably something I can live with, but it also creates a less positive feel when dumping the clutch, not something I want...Just finished experimenting with shims under the cap bolts, however ran into clearance issues with the cover, think I'll look for some thinner washers, I did actuate the clutch with the bolts not fully seated, with marginal returns(obviously not running) Wish I could locate the aforementioned thread.

lineaway Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 What I actually did was take gasser 160 springs and cut to the same length as the Beta springs. If you want to eliminate drag you have to add a thin shim to the flat bearing on the pressure plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
