March 3, 201016 yr Author Hi Copemech, Might take longer then I thought measuring springs. Hit a pot hole Monday and truck is in shop with exploded front end. Lucky I was doing 25 and not 65. Looked under to see bottom A arm laying on ground.

March 10, 201016 yr Hi All My first post :-) so BIG hello... I have just carried out the clutch fix on my Beta Evo 250cc/2010 it really does make the clutch lighter to use ! Many Thanks for some great advice.... All the best. Cheers
March 14, 201016 yr just been out on me bike after doing the clutch fix its perfect now starts in gear nice and smooth really pleased thanks
May 4, 201016 yr Hey all, I completed the clutch mod and love the results, with one exception. I find there is a lot more clutch plate chatter. Have others who have done this mod found this to be true or did I miss something in the mod instructions?
May 4, 201016 yr Author There is more chatter. Don't worry about it. After a few weeks you won't even notice. It will also diminish a bit as the plates wear into their new configuration.
May 4, 201016 yr You da man Dan. I also switched to synthetic ATF, which I never used before, maybe that is part of the chatter issue as well.
June 13, 201016 yr For the easier clutch do you take out the 2 springs and the bolts, or remove the springs and put the bolts back in. And without trying to sound really thick does it matter which springs.
June 15, 201016 yr Holy crap! This mod really works! Let me say I didn't have so much believe in would fix my problem which actually is clutch slipping in 5th and 6th which is stated to be pretty "normal" for the Beta's (I have a rev3 270). The job was PITA and took me a couple of evenings, but it was all worth it. Clutch is both feelier and as I said, no more slipping. Thanks! I can't say I noticed any significant increase in the chatter either, but I am not so experienced. The bike vibrates and make so much chatter already so it can't get any worse I guess ;-)
June 18, 201016 yr Author olec: Oh ye of little faith. scorpion: Yeah I just take the two bolts out. Why leave in something that can get loose and cause bad things to happen?
June 19, 201016 yr I ride a 2008 4t would this mod benefit me, clutch sticks from cold but i have already removed 2 springs so it's nice and light
June 19, 201016 yr I ride a 2008 4t would this mod benefit me, clutch sticks from cold but i have already removed 2 springs so it's nice and light Tut,Tut..Mr. Crash, Are you aware that the 4RT owners club has strict rules when it comes to tweaking your Montesa? You are expected to throw a lot of wonga
June 19, 201016 yr Hi All. I got some clutch slip yesterday up some long big hills. I guess the 4 spring idea was a little hopeful. I have gone back to 6 springs and will test today.
June 20, 201016 yr Author From what was said earlier about the 4T clutch pull it's entirely possible it uses lighter clutch springs anyway. Hmmm according to the engine manuals for the 08 2T and 4T same part number (13.5kg spring) EDIT I think this should be 13.5 N/mm] Could be affected by fluid type or the adjustment bring a bit too tight or it could really just be slipping.
