All of us had 2010s while another had a gg. 200 and I know he abused the heck out of the thing. All the bikes have the same bottom end even the 200. I just can't figure it out. Its annoying

Just keep this in the back of your mind...GG has probably the best clutch in the business.
You'll find this out when you see how little they wear even after a 100 hard hours or so.
I changed mine out way, way too early at 60 hrs...I kept it for a spare though.
I road with a buddy today that had a couple of KTM's, 2 GG trials bikes and a pampera.
We talked about the squawk and he said his KTM 200 will do it occasionally when he abuses the clutch and the bike is hot.
His GG trials bikes squawk too but he's not worried in the least...he said he finally changed the clutch in one of his trials bikes after over 300 hours.

This is not the mod needed for the Gas Gas. Yes this helps but I am talking about the webbing between the fingers on the clutch basket.
The Yamaha in this image has no webbing between the fingers, but the early Gas Gas do.
The extra oil flow also keeps the clutch running cooler.
Check with Gas Gas Spain. all the early race bikes had this mod.

Well we decided to pull the side cover off the bike just to inspect the clutch area to make sure nothing was damaged so far.

I believe we found the issue. There is 2006 or 2007 clutch basket in a 2010 engine. I know it sounds crazy but we verified on a print. Its the basket with the additional casting between the outer basket fingers. Essentially the first couple of fibers are starved for oil. I wonder how this could have happened. We pulled the side cover off another 2010 and it has the updated basket. It's going to be expensive to fix but we are trying to get a S3 clutch basket (currently only offered in Europe) but I have a friend from England who is trying to purchase us one from Sandifords and the new rekluse manual clutch drive. We will keep everyone posted. I can post some pics if anyone would like to see

Can you post some pics showing the difference between the two, what about GG giving you the right basket?

Maby drilling the inner hub would be a fix?

Also, check out the barnett basket, it has a window in the fingers and I think they make one for GG

Easiest way is thru a photobucket account...if you don't have you can sign up for it free.

From photobucket you can download images or videos, you'll see the big download button.

After downloading the image to photobucket you will see three lines of code to choose from, pick the image code...3rd choice....copy that code with a right click.

Then in the above icon list on the GG thread pick the one that looks like a picture of mountains...it says insert image...click on it and past the image code into the blank box.
that's it...pretty easy once you've done it a couple of times.
Note: the blank box will already have a partial code like http:// and the image code will have the same beginning code...erase one of them so there's only one.

Hey guys the above picture did show up and that is the pic out of the 2010 bike. If look at the other thread posted on the site it resembles the four stroke basket. I appoloize for thinking its an older basket but the cast webbing goes all the way to the base of the basket. I will try to post another pic. Lets see if it worked
