  1. I'm confused now, two people have said this, but I've got it set so the piston comes out and sits against the circlip, then there is a small amount of free play. Is this wrong? The piston cannot move past the circlip surely? I thought if it was against the circlip that meant the refill home was open, to relieve any pressure?
  2. Noted thanks. But if the master cylinder is out to the circlip it rests against, surely more free play in the lever doesn't allow it to move any further?
  3. Having done some reading on here, and on YouTube, I've currently got the lever set as I've read, to get the maximum throw with a tiny amount of free play before it moves the piston.
  4. Hi guys Evo250 2009 I've got a query about the evo clutch. Mine was cold sticking really badly, bike is new to me. It was OK while riding, but if you stopped and turned off, 3 minutes later it was stuck again. I've done the clutch fix this afternoon, cleaned out the glue, tidied the ends of the friction plate tabs, and re assembled with fresh oil. And I've left out 2 springs. All working perfectly now, I can even find neutral! When it was apart I measured the plates and I have 6 2.7mm friction plates. From what I've read I was expecting at least 1 3mm plate, possibly 2. Is this an issue? Apart from not sticking, the clutch bite is now a lot higher (in the last 3rd of travel) before it was all the way from fully in. If that's normal I'll just get used to it. Thanks Matt
  5. Hi everyone My name is Matt, and I've got 25yrs of road bikes under my belt, but always wanted to have a go at trials. (used to compete at landrover trials). I bought a 2009 beta evo 250 this week with the help of a friend who is very into trials. First ride this afternoon, just up and down some parking spaces with a few steps. I love it! But wow is it different to a road bike. I'm a mechanic and a welder, so happy doing stuff on my own bike. (good job as it needs fork seals urgently) Based in Newport, my trial riding friend is over in Clevedon, so I would love to find some local people who are into trials. I'll be going over there so he can show me the ropes, but I want to be doing some proper practice, so ideally find somewhere more local, where I can meet some new friends! As a mechanic, always happy to help anyone local to me who wants to learn the spanners side of things, or use tools. Matt
