November 10, 201510 yr I need some thinner steel wear disks for my OSSA 2013 factory 300 to get the thickness down for an easier clutch pull. If I can't find thinner plates for the OSSA clutch are they the same as a GASGAS clutch? If so what bike? I wanted one of those cool XIU adjustable rings but can not find them in stock anywhere. This leads me to another question would the XIU ring for the Gas Gas work in an OSSA? Tnx.
November 10, 201510 yr How will thinners steel plates make the pull lighter? You need to lighten the spring by a washer or a larger diameter slave cylinder to get a lighter pull.
November 10, 201510 yr Author It adjusts the angle of the fingers and puts them at a more effective angle reducing pull. It's pretty well known that this helps, lots of threads on it in the GASGAS forum, from what I hear same clutch just want to confirm it's exactly the same.
November 10, 201510 yr It`s similar. Call Adrian, he has Gas Gas plates. Other wise you could sand down the friction plates.

November 10, 201510 yr Not on a Beta clutch it wont. I know its a OSSA/gas gas. I did not read the post correctly, my bad LOL Edited November 10, 201510 yr by billyt
January 22, 201610 yr Author The XIU plate is now in stock at Lewisport and I have one on the way. Another question..... I've read moving oil from 75wt to 80wt gear oil can make a clutch more progressive in a Gas Gas anyone know if it's OK to run 80wt gear oil in my Ossa since it also lubricates the main bearings? Tnx
January 22, 201610 yr There shouldn't be a problem using just a little thicker oil in 80W. Just let it warm up properly before you do any revving abuse so the main bearings get enough thin film of oil between to take the loads. You may also have a bit more clutch drag, but should be fine otherwise I reckon.
January 22, 201610 yr Author Very cool, thanks. Did not know GG did the same thing with the bearings.
January 25, 201610 yr There is a channel behind the clutch for the left bearing, and an open bearing just behind the primary gear on the crankshaft.
January 31, 201610 yr Author Sigh... So after being all excited about getting my adjustable clutch ring it appears it will not help me at all unless I am thinking backwards. Quote from this page; http://www.splatshop.co.uk/xiu-rdi-adjustable-spring-clutch-support-plate-ossa.html Technical info: Clutch control is the commercial name for this special adjustable spring clutch support plate. With 3 different mounting positions. Changing from position 1 to 3 you can choose different spring clutch pre-charge. From num.1, the lower, to num.3 the higher spring pre-charge. Position number 1 is the same spring pre-charge like original spring clutch support. Check recommended use and mounting instructions included in each products. Stainless steel screws are supplied in each clutch control set. Due its conical profile improves oil flow into the discs. Improving the cooling and reducing the wear. With this clutch control XiuRDi offers a completely new adjusting solution to trial high level riders. Precision and control are its main definitions. Recommended use A.-With new friction plates you can start with position num.1 or 2, depending your preferences. B.-After some working time, pads will be adapted and will be thinner. Then you can choose a higher number, until position num.3. My clutch is somewhat new and too thick and that is why it's pulling very hard. This ring seems only to help maintain the clutch feel when a clutch gets worn. Am I wrong?
