June 20, 201016 yr No issues with oil 8hrs after oil change. No issues with adjustment - I checked. Mind you i was giving the bike some welly, so i am not surprised it was slipping. Yip as i thought.....it is much better with the 6 springs. Today it had no slip and a positive feel for when it bites or releases.
September 22, 201015 yr i am currently tackeling this mod as we speak - just popped in for a cuppa i cant believe the amount of glue on the plates , its shocking i had a plate with the friction fibers hardly visable on one half looks loads better now its clean im a bit afraid of the flatting down on the tabs ,but then if u dont try you will never know?? ill just take it easy and use a file instead of the dremel cheers for the info - its obviously helping lots of us out!!

November 18, 201015 yr Hi all My clutch on my evo is heavey,i have read about removing two Questions,does it matter which two i remove,do i remove springs/caps/bolts? Cheers all
November 22, 201015 yr Hi all, just to let you all know i'm very new to all this trials stuff but i must admit i've done all the mods as listed about the Beta REV3 clutch and found major advantages however, even to a newbie.....To get the best i used the exspensive elf oil as well.......great improvement. Down side, on tickover the clutch can be louder but this is nothing to worry about!!!!!! bottom line, when you next change the oil i'd do the lot in one go.
March 4, 201115 yr Author Heh heh the new Beta Racing has new clutch plates with "larger guide" surface. Sounds like the message got through. Edited March 4, 201115 yr by Dan Williams
March 4, 201115 yr Guy's My confusing error in description its a Beta 2008 Rev 3 250 4T. All bikes mate....
March 9, 201115 yr Just got my 2006 Beta 250cc Rev 3 this week and had my first little play about with it this afternoon and until it got very well warmed up, as soon as you put it in to gear with the clutch pulled right in, it just lurched forward and you couldnt keep it still with the clutch lever pulled right in. So I have been on here searching about it as I am totally new to trials bikes and never had anything like this with my road bikes, and I see that this sort of clutch issue is a common occurance. Found this thread though and read through the instructions and it sounds easy enough to do and is very well explained. Going to give it a try in the next couple of weeks and see what happens (going to go give the bike a proper ride though this week before I start the lengthy process).

Maybe make sure your clutch is properly bleed and the oil is fresh.(I can feel it after dozen or so rides the oil starts to "go off". dx 3 atf works well and is cheap.
March 16, 201115 yr Just got myself some small files and should be getting delivery of my Black & Decker "Dremmel" type tool in the next couple of days so going to attempt this mod next week I hope.
March 23, 201115 yr Spent all day doing this and the intial results seem to be superb. Didn't have time to do a full test on it before I had to go out on the road bike for "bike night" but will do that tomorrow. The plates were FULL of glue. There was only the odd part that had any silver metal bits showing through between the tabs, the rest were just covered in black glue between all the tabs. They definately all seemed a lot worse that the examples in the instructions document. Thanks though for the 'How To'. Will tell you what it is like after tomorrows proper test.
May 9, 201115 yr spent this morning doing the clutch mod, only used it around the garden but it does seem to have made a big difference, thanks for your help guys ATB Si
May 14, 201115 yr Took the plates out my bike to do this mod and found two of them were broken! Have this morning received new sureflex plates- does the mod need to be done on these? Or is this just a beta stock plate fix? Someone help asap to save me wasted hours on a weekend!!
