Hi Tom, I have a 2001 315R with the same problem. I purchased a set of clutch plates from BVM Moto and the ELF oil These are CR250 plates. I've just fitted these and the difference is amazing no drag whatsoever. However the new plates are slighty thicker and they foul on the casting when operating the clutch. I got round this by adjusting the free play on the master cylinder to reduce the stroke of the piston. Do this with the engine running. Its a simple job...drain oil, remove 4 bolts on the cover, 6 bolts and springs, remove plates, I oiled the new plates before fitting. I've fitted my a few days ago and its made a big difference, but time will tell.... Hope this helps Steve

Thanks for the welcome guys. This seems a good forum, good topics and good advice. I think i'll do a bit of practice on the bike before my first trial, dont want to look a right tit on my first outing. To answer Slapshot3 I live outside Marykirk. I used to marshal at Edzell airfield for the road and supermoto races run by Bon Accord.

Thinking of joining Montrose & district MC

Hi Guys, new to trials, going to join my local club. Had a TY175 lot a years ago. Just bought myself a Montesa 315R. I'm the wrong side of 50 so the kids will run rings round me.
