Is it time for a clutch
Hello China riders
Is it time to replace my clutch ? :( Speaking about my 2001 ttr 225 Lately my bikes been a pain to shift. Stiff shifter and seems like it's "clunking" into gear. At first I thought I was due for an oil change. So I did that Used rotella 10w40 this time At first I thought it was good but was still a hard shift. Then I started thinking the clutch was slipping. But thought maybe it was just spinning the tire. I had my brother ride behind me and we were fairly certain it was just spinning. But it still dident feel right. So today We were on a little stretch of pavment so I held front brake slightly and cracked on it in 3rd going fairly slow. She revved right up :( So now my question Do I need a clutch ? Do I replace just friction disks http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...alID=EBAY-ENCA Or do an entire kit http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...alID=EBAY-ENCA I don't really want to open it up just to inspect it. Rather open it up and fix the problem if there is one. I'm still going to ride it for the time being. I'll just go easy on er lol Thanks for your opinions Dave |
If the TTR225 is like the TTR250 clutch there could be an adjustment screw
in the pressure plate... if thats not right the clutch will slip or not disengauge totaly... Replace both friction & steel... steels maybe warped... toss a set of EBC heavy springs in it while yer in there.. . |

Looked into it a bit afte reading your post. Might have to look into that. Post 5/6 in this thread http://www.thumpertalk.com/topic/104...ch-adjustment/ My lever has similar symptoms only engaging in the last 25% of releasing lever. Think I'll need a clutch cover gasket or should it come apart ok ? Probably luck if the draw lol Thanks Dave |
the adjuster should look like this....
(don't get confused... the funny looking unit in the stack is a Rekluse auto clutch) ==> http://imageshack.com/a/img837/1522/6dzt.jpg i would have a gasket ready to go... 50/50 call if it rips or not... . |

I agree with Pete. I would definitely purchase a gasket for the right crankcase cover. ;)
