[QUOTE="kshackleton, post: 985471, member: 64251"] My 2001 KX 250 has had a very grabby cluch....it will almost stall the bike when kicking into first gear from neutral before the bike has warmed up....and the idle is lowered due to the dragging clutch [the cable is properly adjusted]. I had been using 10w30 motor oil [changed every second ride]. The clutch was also very difficult to intentionally slip....there would be no engagement to speak of....then WHAM!....full engagement. Now....I am relatively new to the dirt, but I have riden street bikes for years and I have never seen a clutch engage this harshly. So.....I decided to take apart the clutch to see what's what.....I found a spotlessly clean clutch with only the slightest signs of wear....no glazing was apparent at all. The metal disks looked new, and the friction disks looked almost new....so I made a couple of changes. When I reassembled the clutch, I made sure to mix up the plates so that the old wear patterns were eliminated. I torqued everything to spec and refilled the gearbox with ATF....since I have read [and agree] that it is probably well suited to the wet-clutch and can easily deal with the light gear pressures associated with a bike. Then I took my bike for a ride.....guess what? No longer is the clutch grabby.....butter-smooth engagement, and no more tendancy to stall on initial engagement into first gear. I am sold on ATF in the 2-stroke gearbox. [/QUOTE]
