Rev 3 Reluctant To Change Gear

[scraggydog64]

Hello

I have an 06 Rev 3 250. The gear selection is terrible and finding neutral is very hard. I goes through the gears perfectly without the engine running. The clutch works fine in terms of controling the drive. I use Dextron 3 AFT in the gear box.

I am assuming it is the clutch. I stripped it down and there are no groves in the basket. I cleaned the steel plates with emery cloth to remove any glaze as this used to work on my old 315 Mont. I eventually replaced the friction plates on the Mont - problem solved.

Has anyone had a similar problem with their Beta? If so what did you do? If it is the clutch any advice on where to get one and how much it cost?

Thanks in advance.

Scraggydog.

my bike and all other previous bikes (sherco and a gasgas) were very difficult to change into nuteral when the engine is running. they are like this to prevent the gear selector selecting nuteral if it hits a rock. and on my bike the change between 1st and 2nd is a little sticky, i recon this is for the same reason

Yep, me too. I think that this is normal.
