I have also been struggling with a 2022 clutch after seven years on a 2015!! I've now tried all three settings with four oils to no avail. Clutch is perfect for first 20 mins then becomes more aggressive. I'm now going to try atf this week. Still unsure what crosses on plates are for.
Also try with you throttle hand further back before you start then you cant rev as much. Clutch should also be in after back wheel has gone over ledge. Then its gentle brakes to control.
A general question really for many bike variants. Sometimes the pots in the caliper don't move outwards at the same rate. Obviously its either muck or dry seals etc that's causing friction.I can work them free using little clamps on opposing pots but once done what oil if any would you try to use on the seal area?
If it's carbon airbox you shouldn't have the usual water mud issues. Linkage needs maintenance but most bikes do. Kickstart is prone to shedding teeth if not used properly. Kehien carb needs a fiddle to get it how you like it but apart from those easy fixes can't think of anything else.
The general principle is that the lip goes towards oil and away from grease. That means oil is kept in and grease is allowed to purge out (if there is a grease nipple).
For dog bones having the lip out will also help to stop water ingress.
Tempted to get one of the wheelchair adapted vehicles for trials transport. They're probably better looked after than vans.Does anyone use one. This may be more practical for me than a van. All comments welcome. Picture would be great.
It'll be the centre bolt with hole in it. Hold in clutch as much as possible. Rev engine high and bolt will /should self screw back into place. Otherwise remove cover with bike on its side and tighten centre bolt.
iT'LL BE INCONSITENT PLATE THICKNESSES. IF YOUVE PUT IT BACK TOGETHER NOT EXAC TLY AS BEFORE THIS CAN HAPPEN. TWO OPTIONS STRIP IT AND RE ALIGN(DIFFICULT) OR LIVE WITH IT FOR A WEEK OR TWO, HAMMER THE CLUTCH AND IT SHOULD REBED AND START FEELING BETTER. Caps lock was on . Not retyping !!!
I never file. I use a punch on the top of each tooth. This roughs it up without removing any metal. I do this on titanium pegs so will be even better on alloy ones.
I had the same symptoms and had only just changed the packing. Smoke smells different and engine runs erratically. Mine is the seal on clutch side and could be both. I'd say if it smokes but runs ok it'll be oil in the exhaust.
I,d strip the carb fist and blow all jets through. Most likely water droplet somewhere. If it was fine before it'll be something simple. If its a keihin carb set air screw to 1.5 turns out and go from there
