Hello Not strictly a yamaha post but does anyone have contact details for The Wilts and Dorset MCC ?

Evenin all. I noticed some posts re TY 250 clutch heaviness. I recently bought a 78 TY250 D (The Majesty replica recently pictured) and found the clutch action to be heavy. After a full primary side stripdown all I found were worn friction plates and slight notching of both hub and basket. I spoke to John Cane at Trail and Trials and he recomended new friction plates and standard (lightweight) Yam springs, as the pattern springs are heavier gauge wire and thus higher poundage. So new friction plates, new cable, notches from hub and basket removed, clutch and gearbox running in ATF, there is a definite improvment. I also noticed that the clutch arm has been lengthened slightly. But as some of the earlier posts stated if your gearing is right you don't really need to use the clutch as the motor will plonk along almost at idle . I would be interested to know what the adjustment at the pushrod should be ? I set mine up with the screw backed off half a turn.
