August 11, 200422 yr My clutch is dragging on my 01 280 to the state that I can't find neutral at all before a section. Pretty easy when the bike isn't running, but a little embarrassing. I've seen the comments on the US Gas Gas site about measuring the clutch plates and that they expand. The problem I have is I don't know where to start. Give me a Haynes manual and I'll work it out (or hit it with a bigger hammer!) How easy is it to open the cases, check the the clutch plates and replace them or do I need to take it into a dealer. All the best, Rob.
August 13, 200422 yr try ringing a gas gas dealer like whites or something and ask for advice or search on google good luck
August 13, 200422 yr Rob, the clutch design on your '01 is totally different than the Pro clutches. In your case, I'd look at the hydraulics first for a dragging problem. Try bleeding the hydraulics with new fluid and see if that helps.
