Jim Snell - USA - GASGAS TXT CLUTCH (Not Pro)

A video by Jim Snell, for 25 years, formerly a spokesman for the GasGas motorcycle company. ~ Aware that few people on Earth possess the detailed knowledge of the older GasGas Trials machines, Jim has chosen to share some of his videos that cover the mechanical aspects of these older machines built prior to 2002. In this video, Jim discusses the details of the clutch on the older Gas Gas engine. (also applies to the Pampera)

Mr.Jim Thanks again. As usual I forget your videos until a couple of days going around a problem. You saved my day with this one. Thank you very much from Medellin Colombia.

In what order should i install the clutchplates and steel plates? ( Edition 2000 txt280 )

[@TRIALSPARTSUSA]

Hi
At 6:30 I show the inner most clutch plate (mixed disc) It is different than all of the other discs. It looks like a metal disc but it has fiber on one side. It goes in first and with the fiber side facing the interior of the hub, followed by a fiber disc, then a metal, then a fiber, then a metal, then a fiber, then a metal, then a fiber, then a metal, then a fiber.........
Thank you for watching. Jim

I live in the UK and can't find mineral 5w30 mineral engine oil to fill my Gas Gas gearbox. Instead I found Super Universal Tractor Oil or "SUTO". I can find it in 10w30 mineral and it's specifically meant for wet clutches. My bikes gears change up and down lovely with a smooth clutch too.
Just my recommendation for riders who can't buy 5w30 mineral engine oil.
