July 14, 201016 yr Hello there is a hole in the clutch cover and the water is leaking out off the bike. I it a bigg job to change the clutch cover? Greathing Luc (the belgium trial rider)
July 15, 201016 yr no, easy job. anyone with small amount of technical knowledge can do it (i think). a good trials dealer will supply all the parts (casing, seals, o rings). should take an hour or 2 at most. worst part is fitting the sump guard/bashplate back on as they tend to be bent and therefore 'sprung'. download an exploded diagram of the engine from beta uk website, study it before starting the job. very basically- drain all oil, then refit drain plug. remove bash plate drain any remaining water. remove front section of exhaust remove water pump cover but leave attached to pipes if they have a good seal already. remove gear lever and kick-start remove clutch inspection cover from casing. remove casing fit new seals to new casing transfer impeller shaft and bearings to new casing (put old and new casings side by side,get seals and bearings correct way around) refit new casing and gasket,locate gasket carefully refit water pump o ring (p shaped) and inspection cover and new large o ring refit sump refit exhaust. check for left over bits!! fill with coolant fill with oil refit sump (car jack or clamps will help) test..... good luck, sounds more complex than it is. be sure to use the diagram for correct placing of casing bolts you remove.
July 19, 201016 yr Author OK & thanks for the support. The job is well done. I have just one question. What type off cooling liquid do i need to put in the radiator? I don't want the clutch cover to oxidate 2 times. Greathings Luc
