Hi there
My bike was out action for 2 years. it all started fine but  when I get it into gear after releasing the clutch it stalls. I have checked the leaver and taken the side cover off there is some  movement on the plates. Not sure what else is wrong, as why the clutch not working and what is stuck !!!!
please help..
 Regards Alex





 

Plates have kind of bonded themselves to the steels. Just remove them & separate then carefully seeing you're already in there. The pressure plate will lift as your looking at it but as I say the rest are stuck to each other. Perhaps give the steels a light sand if look like the shape of each grippy bit is showing on the steels. Could very very lightly do the same with the fibers then go ride it & enjoy. With DT250A I think that the pressure plate might need fitting in the right way or won't fit on the hub. Might be wrong but if there's 3 arrows there's likely 3 marks on the hub to give you guidance. You'll know straight away as won't go on to compress plates. Cheers from NZ.

Hi
Thanks so much for your swift response, I shall certainly will have ago.

Thanks again from Scotland happy easter.

To prevent it happening again, and also a less intrusive cure, is to just pull the clutch lever back to the 'bars and tie it there.

Just looking at the parts pic the 250 may not have the type of pressure plate I'm thinking of. If that's the case the pressure plate just fits on any which way. Not sure if those have 5mm thread spring screws. Earlier design motors have 5mm & are a disaster, stretch & break off when tightening. If 6mm you'll be good. Just be careful tightening 5mm & eyeball the thread first. But I think it'll be 6mm.

well a big thanks to all of you , I shall report back the outcome.

Cheers

Sorry, I should have added to leave it overnight in that position!

Hi All
Just came to say following your instructions stripped down checked for ware all within the tolerance assembled back. Prior to put the crank case back together pulled the clutch into first gear and rolled the bike I could see the plates moving. All back together and test ride fine.

Well a massive thank to all you having a classic bike is a privilege, but learning & getting to know the other enthusiasts is an honour.

Thanks again from Scotland

Well done. 

Photos of the bike would be great, although you need to use a third party host such as Imgur to post them here.
