  1. had the same noise from my 2002 280 pro i bought as a non runner for a lot of years, so decided to change the main bearings and seals but when rebuild and started it sounded like a bag of bolts and my heart sank but after i strip the clutch side off notice under close inspetion that the basket and crank gear had marks on them as something must of came loose at one time and causing the damage,got the dremel out and clean the damage up on the gear wheels the best i could and rebuild and started,this cut the noise down by half but now i know what to replace when i get the ££££££ in :wall:

  2. just to let others know the problem i have had it might help others with same systoms

    i done a rebuild off the bottom end off a 2002 280 pro i got cheap as it was sieze with corosion round the fly wheel while sitting damp over a few years,i build her back up and when tried to start she give a couple of revs and stopped but would not start but back fire which was saying to me that timing was not right,checked wiring plug etc but could not find a problem as i was getting a spark and carb seem to be good so decided to take fly wheel off and found that woodruff key had sheared off in 2 halfs :wall:

  3. sorted, took it to my local dealer and he used a punch down the centre of the crank and a few blows with me holding it to let crank fall out off casing into my hand and no damage done :stupid: think the problem may have come a bout with someone hitting the end of the crank and getting a mushroom effect while fitting the gear wheel on !!

  4. i am in the middle of stripping my engine to replace the main bearings but the gear wheel on the water pump side does not want to come off,i have removed the c clip but the gear is stuck fast and dont want to force it to much any ideas ;)

  5. From the part numbers it appears that the clutch basket is the same on both the 97 and 99 (both #MO3210002).

    The numbers, however, are different for the clutch packs. The 97 uses a straight fiber/steel combination and the 99 uses a combination that includes a "mixed disk" (a steel plate with fiber on only one side). Since it is a possibility that the two packs could interchange as complete units I also checked the numbers of the inner hubs (where the steel disk "teeth" engage) and they are different for the 97 and 99. I then checked the pressure plates and they also are different numbers for the 97 and 99.

    So, according to the numbers anyway, you should be o.k. on swapping the hubs but you might run into trouble with the 99 and 97 clutch packs being compatable.

    jon thanks for your time i think i will go for new parts as i think i could run into problems mixing the to models :)

  7. Just notice when checking clutch that water is mixing with oil in the gearbox,i think it must be leaking through the water pump amd was wanted to no if it is easy enough of a job to sort and wat is involed in changing the seal.

    Also when taking about the clutch wound anyone know the thickness off the plates should be. :P

    1999 270 txt

  8. No, air in the line just makes for a limp clutch lever. Typically,if the plates are slipping, pumping the lever might get the plates to slam back together a bit for a moment, but I would inspect for worn plates or weak springs I think? :rolleyes:

    Might check that the pin on the lever where it enters the master cyl has just a bit of clearance to allow the MC piston to fully retract and open the return port for the fluid so there is no residual pressure held in the line. Look under that rubber boot for dirt as well, if you have not!

    thanks copemech for the reply have just notice that i have a small weep at the mc banjo fitting which needs sorted will see how things go after i fix the leak and then check the plates, thanks again will let ya know the out come :thumbup:

  9. Hi, Davidp92 from Belfast here. Driving to Dublin tomorrow to pick up a Yamaha TYZ250. Sold my Montesa 348 after 10 years of fun in 1995. Bought my 8 yr old son a gas gas 50 last year and realised he needs a pal to ride with if he's going to pick anything up. Couldn't afford to buy one for myself however and then.......a friend from Cork gave me his bike as he wasn't using it. Thanks Donagh. Looking forward to getting back in the saddle (or out of the saddle actually as it is trials.) Been riding road bikes in the meantime. Anyone know where to ride around Belfast (I live beside Cavehill but I believe people aren't happy if you ride on the mountain any more!)

    david there is a spot up at woodburn forest in carrick just off the new line where alot of guys seem to head now you would see cars and trailers parked at the corner off paisly road on the new line carrick most weekends :thumbup:
