  8. More Clutch Woes!

    I missed the previous thread where you discussed the water pump seal replacement. could be contaminated clutch plates. I had an 02"

    edition model that the friction material lost its bond with the clutch disc after coming into contact with the coolant/trany fluid mix.

    this caused the clutch action to become more inconsistent over time to the point where the clutch would no longer disengage.

    I would inspect the friction discs closely for this.

    Sounds like the master cylinder compression seal is allowing the fluid to leak around the piston back into the reservoir.

    Provided there is no scoring to the bore, should be an easy fix with a cylinder rebuild kit.

  10. Cracked Clutch Cover

    thanks wri5hty, I bought a new cover to have as a just in case "$200.00 + US" then took the old cover and decreased it thoroughly

    used high temp silicone on the inside and two part epoxy (JB weld ) on the outside. built it up with several layers to follow the natural contours of the cover with an additional layer around the outside of the cover (aprox 6mm thick) above the cracked bolt hole.

    So far it has worked well no leak and no sign of further "crackage"

    also replaced the hick start gear and idler, as they were pretty knackered

    will make a mental note to henceforth engage the kick start gears properly before prodding the lever .

    Well I'll be Dipped. looks like I am having the same issue, thought the gasket was responsible for the slight leak, but closer observation reveals a crack running through the top left bolt hole towards the slave cylinder. any feed back on which course of action to take would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks, Tim

    thanks gents, I have done most of these suggestions, but will double check, I knew to tighten the axle with the brake firmly applied, but wounder

    if relieving the backing plate would help, as the axle fit is tight. _tlr: what are/is the I shaped cams you refer to?

    Glenn are you going to Marion?

    I have a "86" US model TLR200. the front brake has good modulation but lacks the power to lock the wheel.

    on a steep descent, even when using 3 fingers on the end of the long stock lever. it will most often over shoot

    where you need to be in a section. any suggestions on improving the power of the front brake would be greatly appreciated.

    Also, drum brake is a must under the rules of twin shock.

    in response to the problem with hopping: I do far more bicycle trials than moto, and the thing i must remember when on the moto is.

    To start a hop you push down first, just a quick stab with the legs, and weight shift biased front or rear depending on which end your trying to hop. also when properly executed the move requires almost no arm effort. hop (Pun intended) this helps.
