I had a funny experience last night

Unloaded the 4RT out of the truck, started it, 1st time as per

Ran around for about 1/2hr

Then Loads of noise....................Not going anywhere

I took it the clutch was knackered

But it hadn't showed signs of dragging in the past

Lent the bike against a tree

And farted around with my mate for an 1hr

Started the bike up again away it went no issues

But after another 1/2hr it started to slip again...............

Any thoughts Gentlemen

Thanks

Have you asked the DBFs chief trials mechanic his thoughts ?

Seeing as he's no a gardener.

All indications are pointing to worn plates

Not an expensive fix though

Perhaps your clutch lever is not adjusted properly! There chould be some slight clearance where the pin on the lever pushes the piston in the M/C, otherwise it cannot return fully and vent the heated fluid.
