paul_b1 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Have a 280 and 250, clutch on 280 is beautiful and light as is front brake but on the 250 the clutch is very heavy and front brake super solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 The finger height on the clutch could be out of spec. Front brake, usually would be firm. Question would be how well does it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_b1 Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 The brake works but it has very little movement before the brake is fully on......too sharp for the kids who are still learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelly1 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) adjust a little more slack on the brake lever Edited November 11, 2013 by nelly1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Have they got and always had the correct and clean fluid in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie1 Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 About half way down the page in the link is a link to 3 videos showing how to repair the clutch on TXT Pro bikes. When I first got my 2002-280 my forearms were buldging after a few minutes riding. I went for a new clutch pack and had a lovely 1 finger light clutch. I could also have tried different thickness steel plates but the new clutch pack put it right in spec. The videos are a fantastic resource showing how to do most jobs. http://www.trialspartsusa.com/youtube.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee101 Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Thinner plates sorted my father in laws stiff clutch. This was after putting a new clutch kit in. Using the new thicker plates with the kit made to much clearance so we used some new plates and some old. Clutch is back to being super light. Also with the stiff front brake, mine is te same on an 07 250 pro. I'm used to it now but at first I found it hard to judge between half brake and full. New pads may make it more spongey but I prefer sharp brakes for pulling stoppys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_b1 Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Been lead to believe that its the pressure plate that cause's the stiffness.......don't how true this is but will be stripping and having a look in the next week or so.....will update. As for brake.......not sure about fluid but will drain, flush and replace and see what that brings. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
