ok will have a look thanks

if you carry out the work as described your clutch will work properly.

Hi Richfr,

What is your clutch doing after the fix?

Hi Richfr,

What is your clutch doing after the fix?

When first started (and if slightly warm after 30min coffee stop) it will drag a tiny amount when you first set off and the very first time you stop it will drag.

The garden gate came off the hinges last time I forgot :wall:

I think it had ATF in when I got it but I now have GP10 75W. I have tied the clutch leaver in when stood hopefully make a difference.

New plates and steels with the fix applied sorted mine when the fix alone didn't help.

Tried the fix on my 04 270, made a little difference, but it only sticks when it been standing for a couple of weeks. nearly ended up in the fish pond when it first did it. now dont take any chances, stick the front wheel against a tree when starting.

A sticky clutch is proper for a Beta, other wise the factory would of fixed it a few decades ago.

I have to ask if you did the cleaning of glue from between the pads and anywhere else on the fibers that might contact the steel plates. It is possible that the glue has contaminated the fiber pads in which case you would need to clean them though I'm not sure it's possible. I'm not fond of ATF. I find it makes for abrupt catch and release of the clutch but it shouldn't cause cold stick.

I also wouldn't leave the clutch pulled in as that is keeping the actuator system pressurized which may not be the best way to make the seals last.

Hi Dan yeah I cleaned all the glue sure that's not the problem.

Its not a big problem if you remember

change the steel plates for the ones with dimples on, makes a huge difference

I tried everything, but couldn't get the clutch to stop dragging completely. What fixed it for good was switching to the Surflex friction plates. This was on a 2010 250 evo.

Possible you have bent plates. That'll also cause drag.

I pulled the clutch out today as I had the case off as the starter return spring has snapped and found the basket has slight grooves in it. I will smooth them out but that will be the cause of mine.

(don't know why I didn't see them before)
