Worn Clutch

[stuart0411]

i have a KTM 250F Exc enduro, was racing yesterday & my clutch was badly slipping & then stopped working alltogether, then when i got home & started the bike the clutch was working again, would the clutch have over heated, i have removed the clutch how do you tell if it is worn as this is the first time i have ever worked on the clutch???????

Hi Stuart
While there's quite a few here who also ride KTMs you'd probably be better off posting your question here.
Good luck with it

Stuart How Old is the Bike ? Miles etc e?

Perhaps insufficient clearance in the cable??

If you have no ridges on the plates they may be worn out? A photo here may help?

What oil did you put in it? Gearbox clutch I mean I know it's a 2 stroke it's only the gearbox/clutch oil I'm interested in

My Ducatti 600SS used to slip like a bastard when it was hot!

The problem? Fuchs Silkolene Semi synth! Slippy As!!!!!

Solution Change to a Mineral 10W40 Problem Cured, I presume because it only happened when it was really warm that the oil just simply was "thin" enough to get between the plates and was damn slippy

So If you have something like that in there???
