Have you removed the basket and greased or lubed the washer on the back side? I have had plenty of these bikes, never had an issue except in 07 when I was racing mx and forgot to put oil in the bike. oooooppppppppssssss my fault, and I took it apart and pre lubed everything and it was fine after that. Not saying that you have no oil or low on oil but that was the only issue I have ever had with a squeaking clutch on a gasser. Maybe try using green colored springs from the 450? Different oil?, clutch rod?, bleeding fluid or replacing it? or just pound it till something breaks and then you now what it was lol! Good luck on trying to break it cause I have tried and it is tough!!!!!!

TJ's in Austin is a GG dealer. 136 miles. Basically it's an alignment thing. First loosen the starter from the PV cover. If there is a gap, shim it with washers. If it still does it then its an up and down alignment issue. Also, first make sure that the battery is fully charged. That's the biggest problem most times. Clay |

I would run 13/51 before running 12/48. The sprockets and chain will last longer and the effect on the suspension should be better with a larger rear sprocket.

I really thought there would be a bigger difference to the top, but I hardly notice it, guess that is the advantage of 6 gears!

I had read about this earlier. I've racked up 1000+km on my 300 riding in pleanty of slops and ST and have given the clutch a fair working. Yet to hear this sound you all speak of. Strange that some do and some don't.. What temps are people who are experiencing it riding in?? must be some common factor
