November 23, 200421 yr Hi I have been jsut looking on trialsbits and noticed a set of six suflex Rev 3 clutch plates, they claim to stop the fragging clutch. Just wondered if anyone had tried them? Here is a link and a piccy...... Thanks in advance, Lloyd The link... and the pic....... Edited November 23, 200421 yr by craftypiggy
November 24, 200421 yr The US importer claims that the SureFlex clutch will behave worse than the stock plates - I haven't tried the SureFlex in my BETA, however, I did try them in my Montesa and I didn't notice much difference. IMO, the most important thing you can do is buy the metal plates at the same time you buy the fiber plates, they're not too expensive and seem to be the key to proper clutch action. I just changed out my whole clutch pack and switched to Mobil 1 synthetic 5w-30 for the gearbox. I can start it cold and snick it right into gear without milking the clutch lever. I will never again change only the fiber plates; SureFlex or factory parts.
November 24, 200421 yr I have surflex plates in my gasgas 270, and i notice when i start the bike up and nik it into gear, the bike jumps forward even with the clutch in. Is this a normal thing to happen with these plates??
November 25, 200421 yr Author Thanks for yor reply Clark P, Ill do what you said and see what happens, hopefully there will be less drag. Hi peter, the clutch drag is not really suppost to happen, but it does and thats what I'm trying to solve. Ive been using different Gear oil and that makes it better. I would give that a go and see of it improves. Lloyd
November 29, 200421 yr Had a similar problem with my techno and started using PJ1 clutch tuner, great stuff. Chage the oil on a regular basis and seems to have solved the probem. BeforeI changed to the PJ1 I did a major oil flush (with cheap oil) to get out all the old stuff, about 3 changes back to back did the trick.
November 30, 200421 yr With regards to the bike lunging forward when popping in gear with the clutch in, I have encountered a similar problem with my 2001 Rev. My bike doesn't do it all the time. What I have discovered is that the problem, coincidentally, occurrs right about the time it is due an oil change every 20 hours or so. As soon as I change oil it goes away. I have tried a variety of oils, Ipone, Castrol, Elf, and Mobile 1. All have the same result. Another thing I have noticed is that it becomes harder to find neutral with the motor off, just about the time I change the oil. Has anyone tried the Mobile 1 transmission fluid??
