    Dude, you've missed the point, forget the plugs at mo, it's the insert I'm asking about, I have two short plugs (seems correct small ones) but the one in it is a long reach, why? is my insert different or incorrectly made?

    Anyone have an answer, I think Konrad seems to get it, but still not overly clear!

    You can cut it down on a lathe or get the correct insert . I went threw this. You can contact Jack's cycles in Maine USA  he will sell you the right one

    if you know how to jet why are you asking what clip position . How are your brakes did the slots cut into the pads make your brakes not work properly.

    Im old and lazy I just like other opinions from people .  Brakes don't lock up with the slightest touch anymore. 

  3. I have found that the TRS uses the same clutch plates and Belville spring as Gasgas  I took the belville spring and made it thinner and it made a huge difference now its smooth like my old Gasgas

    Update on my post re my TRS starter mechanism making a loud knock as it comes to a stop.

    Forum advice (thank you, everybody!) suggested replacing the sprag (non-return/ freewheel) bearing which was supplied promptly by Steve Saunders SXS in Gloucestershire.

    The fault which develops is that the spring holding the pawls in the race stretches. A great shame that this design has not been improved and also that you cannot buy just the spring – the bearing and pawls are still perfect with no sign of wear or stress.

    However what was not mentioned in the advice was that two of the pawls escaped from the bearing race whilst in transit and my ageing eyesight failed to detect that each pawl has striations on the outer surface that all need to face in the same direction – otherwise the bearing will grip in both directions, where it should only grip when rotated anti-clockwise.

    It took my son-in-law’s keen eyes to spot my error and it would have been a lot easier had I known what to look for in the first place.

    Hope this post might help somebody else in the future.

    This will take a crap if you pop the clutch to turn off the motor . It's a one way bearing  it does not like going backwards . Pull the lanyard to turn it off

    I like the Galfer red ones, what pads are you running now?   If my brakes act up I often find it is the wheel bearings that are the source of problems, make sure it's not just that 👍

    How you have your levers setup can make a huge difference.   

    ... and how many fingers are you using now, should be 1 or you will always grab way too much front brake.

    ... and is that the brake pad model with no mounting hole in it?  

     

    Stock pads  wheel bearings are good   I use one finger in the crotch on the lever . 

  6. I am have issue with my brakes  they grab suddenly making wheels lock  I want them to be smooth 

    Is there pads that have a soft stop      I put water on them before  sections so they are soft stopping   There AJP Braktec  on a TRS

    Pack thickness effects the weight of the clutch. Maybe not four finger weight but ive certainly had gg clutches change from 1 to 2 finger weights solely due to pack thickness. Or more specifically, finger height

    What thickness should be 

  8. Okay I took it completely apart I did not see anything wrong  changed mineral oil  and still has a heavy pull 

    today I pulled the clutch lever  on a 2002 Gasgas 280  and it was easier .

    The clutch does not drag at all  .We let the guy with the  280 ride it He said its heavy 

  9. Next week i will inspect everything 

    6 months ago I put in new plates fingers and bearing  and it worked like is should  

    The Gasgas doesn't get ridden that much Wife has two Vertago's   Here in California she can't ride them in the summer stupid emissions thing 

     

  10. When she first  got this bike clutch pull was 4 finger I took it apart inspected it all looked okay just worn .

    I put it back together pull in the lever  it was so easy I thought  I have to bleed the clutch  Nope put in gear  and it was good .

    Now it getting hard
