Sticky Clutch Rev 3, Beyond The Clutch Fix Sticky

have done this mod on eight rev 3s

ensure clutch lever is Genuine Beta and not bent at all

purchase new friction plates, carefully file the tabs smooth

remove steel plates and have them linished perfectly flat (even the new ones are not flat)

file smooth any gauling on basket tabs

Silkolene 'Light Gear Oil'

If you ever get any change in oil colour i.e. milky white from water entry, dump the oil immediately (when oil is hot) and refill. Water in the oil swells the friction plate material and no amount of mods will restore them..

go riding

One good point there is the lever

I have an 010 and the bike came with a shorty lever, swapped output for the long lever and the geometry is different and although it has no effect on clutch drag it improves clutch feel substantially

I just did the clutch mod and filled will ATF, already had it. So far I’m loving it.

One other question thou. Can the oil sight glass be removed? It looks like at one time water got in there and now it’s all cloudy. I’ve changed the oil a few times now and I can’t get it out. Can I remove and clean the sight glass?
