Title: Gas Gas Clutch issues
Post by: Suamico sd on October 10, 2012, 11:16:18 AM
I picked up a old (1995) JT25 and the clutch would not disengage. I have tried the follow so far....

Replaced the clutch master cylinder
Clutch slave cylinder (working)
Bleed system (bottom up)
Long, short rods and ball bearing
New Clutch plates
Ensured plates are in right order
Clutch plate aligned with mark
All bolts tourqed evenly on plate
Tried the zip tie on the lever overnight

I have read the Gas Gas site several times, but I know there are some experts out there. Any help is appricated!

Hey Dominic,

Ryan Vandenbrook here, do you think the clutch plates are just sticking? it seems to be a common problem with a lot of trials bikes, mine always stick when I first start up my bike, they tend to free up after the bike warms up.

I hope we get a chance to see you out at a event next year.

Ryan

I thought about that, the guy had gear oil in the Trans when I got it. You know that smelly thick stuff you put in a differential on a car. I switched out to belray Trans oil like I run in my 2t dirt bike.  I just don't want to hurt anything that may cost more down the line. But I think I've checked r replaced every moving piece in the clutch mechanism.

I might just try a event, a great way to learn (by doing and watching better riders). I spent almost every weekend at the WIXC races this year.
