Assgas Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 (edited) My wife has a 2002 Gasgas 200 txt About 4 rides ago I put in new plates and fingers and bearing and it was like new again . Today started out with a easy one finger pull then in a couple hours it got hard to pull 2 finger . No drag or slip What could be the problem ?

faussy Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 (edited) Plates swollen? Recheck your pack thickness. Check your centre bolt too Edited August 11 by faussy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemur Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 It's hydraulic is it not? does it take DOT fluid or mineral oil and did you use the wrong thing or is the master cylinder just seizing from old DOT fluid corrosion? If it was tight at the slave end it would more likely jam on so I would say check the clutch master cylinder plus make sure it's not just tight at the lever pivot.

Maybe the finger just got tired? Human evaluations are subjective. I've used a fish-weighing scale to quantify how much force it takes to pull a lever.

Assgas Posted August 11 Author Report Share Posted August 11 When she first got this bike clutch pull was 4 finger I took it apart inspected it all looked okay just worn . I put it back together pull in the lever it was so easy I thought I have to bleed the clutch Nope put in gear and it was good .

lemur Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 You can rebuild the clutch master with all new parts for about 50 bucks once you identify the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faussy Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 (edited) Pack thickness effects the weight of the clutch. Maybe not four finger weight but ive certainly had gg clutches change from 1 to 2 finger weights solely due to pack thickness. Or more specifically, finger height Edited August 11 by faussy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
