johnnytheboy Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Hi All Yam fans I am hoping someone can resolve this one I have Just bought a dt175mx and have found when I pull away the clutch is grabbing on and off as I release it and its bloody awfull.I have changed the friction plates and Springs And it still does it. Any ideas lads and lasses would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted June 4, 2017 Moderator Share Posted June 4, 2017 Did you check the basket for ridges, did you smooth them off, did you take the sharp edges off of the friction plates when you got them before soaking them in oil for a few hours.

neversaydie Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Was it like that when you bought it? Was it from a dealer? If it was, then take it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnytheboy Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Just a thought if the steel plates were warped would that cause a judder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted June 4, 2017 Moderator Share Posted June 4, 2017 Normally causes clutch slip tbh. Did you check them for blueing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackhat250 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 My money"s on the rivit/ dampers , wear,, it makes the clutch snatch,,,,,,not drag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon46 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Is it a jumpy feeling when pulling away?My 175mx did this with new metal EBC clutch plates and replacement used basket as I had clutch rattle with the rivets. Im considering changing it back to the Cork plates and old basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
