@@Evil_Morty2000 Yes all 4. I have since moved on to a Rekluse Radius CX. The stock lever pull is about 60-70% of the stock Xtrainer clutch pull WITH the washer spacers. So the Rekluse is lighter pull AND I don't need it if I don't want to use it. It stopped the nuisance stalls in low speed interrupted terrain (rock gardens/uphill tech).
I tried this on my 2022 Xtrainer and it didn't seem to change the pull. The 2022 has a new clutch with 6 bolts so not sure if this would work. I used 1.25MM washers.
hey, what is the part number for bigger diameter of clutch slave cylinder? Owen Lock has mentioned 2014 RR 350 racing. I looked the models there is no RACING model for 2014, but there FACTORY version. Please specify the the exact model and/or part number. thanks
I put the impact driver to my screws today to just one click like you did in your video but that turned out to be too much force for those darn things. So the bolt tower is now shattered. Will need a full clutch basket won't I?
Gday owen , do u know how to make the stand auto retract on a beta xtrainer 300 2021 . The kit comes with extra springs and a metal plate ( 2 holes ) but no instructions? Any info would be awesome . Love the vids Cheers Adam
I had the same question. I think the washer is small enough to fit inside the spring, the washer then sits underneath the bolt effectively making the bolt not go in as deep. I did a similar mod on my ktm but I just bought slightly longer screws, same result I guess.
🤦 oh i see its moving the outside of the basket (top) thus giving more room & making the spring weaker. Thats why shims go under the springs!🤦 No wonder my clutch is slipping now!!!🤦😆 I feel dumb but at least i figured out the problem lol.
Has anyone done this with a 2019 XT (6spring). Bought some6 mill, 1.2 mill thick washers thinking mine had 4 springs...I just want to be sure I can still get away with using this thick of washer.
yes it works, just the inside of the clutch is different cause you have the hidraulic cilinder there, but if you add a washer same thinkness that fits inside the springs, principle is the same.just recomend a 1-2mm max, other it will slip.
Thanks for the video. I have a 2019 200. Any idea how to make the engagement point to where it is further out for the clutch? I have to pull my clutch lever almost all the way to the bar even though I have the lever positioned very far forward. So far in fact, my finger has a hard time reaching it. Lol. Also, do you think this washer mod would provide similar results on the newer Betas?
@@PrimalEnduro That's hilarious you just made this comment. I was just looking at your list of videos to see if you've posted anything new on the 200 as you made this comment.. For the clutch pull on my 200, I had to bleed the crap out of the clutch using a vacuum pump from the slave cylinder nipple on the clutch cover. It made a world of difference. I was able to readjust my clutch lever back in so I can reach it. BTW, I have the ARC levers, and I am very satisfied with them.
@@internalbeats6870 I Don't know if this could be your issue? I think this was fixed with late model 200's, but 2018 and early model 2019 125/200 clutch covers were known to have a defect in the casting causing them to leak fluid/air into the system. I believe the affected covers are the ones with the bleeder and the line right next to each other. Mine has the bleeder and line about 45 degrees apart.
. those springs are now compressed 1.2mm tighter than they were before provided the bolts reach the end of their travel making the clutch stiffer 'most likely you tightened to the same torque as before so the clutch is exactly the same just the bolts are not griping all the thread . . by your logic if you stack 10 washers on it would be even lighter . but in truth the springs would be so squashed there wouldn't be any travel left in them when you pull the clutch making it stiff as hell . seems to me to lessen the pre load you have to use bolts that are 1.2mm longer so the springs are more relaxed
The washer fits inside the spring. The bolt head to spring mating surface, is recessed on the outside, where the spring makes contact, to center the spring. The bolt inner face to clutch basket surface, is designed to bottom out on the basket. When you add the washer, it sits inside the spring, essentially extending the bolt face guide for the spring. By doing so, it raises the recessed portion of the bolt, off the basket, by 1.2mm or however many washers you add. It's hard to see because the camera angle and lighting. As far as worry about threads, most nuts only contain 3-5 threads, there is plenty, and if it worries you, apply some blue locktite.
