Cheers guys i found the ball had fallen out and tried this back in late yesterday afternoon but still no better and ran out of time as i had to go to work on twelve hour nights. I finish after tonight then have my daughter to look after for a couple of days so will report back in a few days with the next bit off the saga. Can you attach photos to these threads ?? If so do i use photobucket ?? Cheers again dudes.

Further woes!!!!! I drained the oil and have to remeber when i laid this bike up in 2000 i had fitted a slightly longer pushrod to the bike to try to cure the clutch issue then after someone told me the Gasser's suffered with the pushrods wearing and needed to be slightly longer so i made one and did this but never tried it after that. When i took the clutch cover of i found the last clutch plate had come off the basket so this is what has caused the clutch not too disengage, excellent i thought so i made the pushrod to exactly 140mmm ( IS THIS THE CORRECT LENGTH ?? ) and put it back together dry with the cover off but the lever was stiff and then pulled a stud out of the threads at the slave cylinder !!!!! GGGRRRRR !!! so i repaired it with a helicoil and put it together but the lever hardly moves at the bars and you can actually see the slave cylinder flexing if you try to pull the lever !!! Is the center bit off the bearing behind the clutch slave cylinder supposed to move ?? I don't know, any help or ideas would be greatly recieved as i am getting very peed off with this now as i can only fit time in between work and family commitments and need to sell it soon so i can pay for my offshore survival course

Hi staldantes my Ossa MAR that i rode as a kid in the early eighties did it and my Gasser was dragging before i laid it up in 2000 but it's a different fault now ? I am lucky as i had already purchased a replacement clutch kit when it was giving me issues but never fitted it. As for the ATF i'm unsure as i have heard some people saying avoid it like the plague ? personally i have always used Motul transoil in this and it was fine for a long time and i've just purchased some today to change it on Monday and see what happens ??

Cheers dude looks like thats the job to do next, onwards and upwards ...

Cheers guys for the quick replies. yeah i could feel it engage and also first bet when i let the clutch out and nothing ?? just revved up whilst in gear, had my foot covering the brake mind !!

Oh and another thing where would anyone recommend as a spares supplier for Gas Gas parts ??

Hi, some advice would be much appreciated by you all, i have started to recommission my 1999 TXT 249 and after getting it running the clutch won't disengage ? I got it warmed up and went to engage second gear, released the clutch but nothing ?? Have the plates just stuck together, oh i forgot to mention i haven't used it since 2000 because of the foot and mouth carry on back then and just haven't had the time till now. Any help, thoughts or ideas would be gratefully received, cheers Andy.

Well done that man...... C,Mon Boro
