December 7, 201114 yr I saw this over on the beta forum. Perhaps it might be a solution to persistent sticky clutch problems: http://www.trialscentral.com/forums/topic/28407-the-beta-clutch-fix/ Of course you still need to use the right oil and hydraulic system needs to be up to snuff.
December 7, 201114 yr Can't say I've ever had a problem with any of my Gasser clutches but should I ever have the urge not to ride my bike and spend hours faffing about with a file and a micrometer instead, I thank you in advance for your observation GJ P.S. Yes, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but it humours me in my latter years. Please forgive me.
December 7, 201114 yr The Beta Clutch and the Gas Gas Pro Clutch are completely different - using the wrong oil is usually the biggest problem.
December 8, 201114 yr Yeah the Beta is an old design that just wasn't prepped very well coming out of the factory. The GasGas is a whole different animal and I'm pretty sure the Beta fix is not applicable.
December 8, 201114 yr May not be of use with newer gasgas clutches but with old style multi plate worthwhile given low cost. Did it to my 2001 in addition to giving the metal plates a good roughing up with orbital sander so that dull matt finish rather than smooth & shiny...another low cost mod. from the old days. As I've a "200" aka 160cc I also took out 2 clutch springs..opinions may vary on this point..but works for me as I'm no Dougie L. I do however have a very smooth engagement 1 finger pull clutch with excellent feel. Bottom line = costs next to nothing apart from time...good Yorkshire mod. Use Putoline GP10 synthetic gear oil..... not cheap.... but used for over 20 years in various bikes
December 9, 201114 yr Author As gasser_dave wisely understood this applies to the wet multi plate discs.
