Sorted, found an exploded diagram and I had a washer in the wrong place

Sorry if this is a stupid question but.... I've just had my clutch apart for the first time as it was "on" or "off" so if filed all the glue of the plates. When I've put it back together the first two pulls on the clutch fealt like there was nothing there and then it's gone completely solid. What have I done wrong? I don't really know how a bike clutch works but it feels like a cyclinder at the end of its travel. its a sherco 290 03 by the way. cheers all

Ah perfect thanks for your help. when it's off it looks different (thinner) but of course that will change once it has air in it cheers

Sorry if this is a daft question but I'm new to trials. I ordered a Michelin X lite tyre 400x18 this week but received a 120/100x18. I thought there was only one usual size (obviously I'm wrong) but I'm assuming this is the wrong tyre? Its for a 2003 Sherco 290 cheers all

Thanks for the comments all. It looks like I probably need to take the clutch apart and have a look at it. I've never seen one of these clutches before so I'm curious how they work. Cheers

Firstly, I know this topic must have been discussed before but I've read so much I'm just confused. I'm new to trials and in fact to riding motor bikes but have recently bought an 03 Sherco 290, so I can get out with my two young lads. My issue is that the clutch is very much on or off - very little slip or smoothness. This takes some getting used to and I find it very jerky in a tight section. What type of oil should I try to improve this? I thought I would give that a go before stripping the clutch and doing the mods I have seen elsewhere. Other than that the clutch drags a little but doesn't seem to stick when cold (although I do ram the front wheel up against something at first start). Sorry if this is a simple question but a simple name of oil so I can go online and order would be a great help. Cheers all
