hey guy i was out on a ride today and my clutch started smoking and i did not feel as much difference as i had expected should i de glaze the bell and rough the pads up some more ? what do you suggest _________________ 06 joyner 250 sand viper,red metallic..blue clutch spring 17 gram sliders
The advice I heard was exactly what you said.. but first make sure every little bit of rubber is cleaned out of the CVT casing. Take a close look at the belt to make sure it doesn't need replacing. I'd be guessing it got worn a bit if it was smoking. If you de-glaze the bell, I heard you should do it cross-ways with a light sandpaper. Let me know if this helps you.. I think I need to do the same to mine very soon!!! _________________ 05' Carter Talon GSX 150 2R

Most people tend to wipe the inside of the bell in the direction of rotation, it's better to score across the face or at 45 degrees and back at 90 degrees to that producing a cross hatch effect instead with a fine emery paper, I prefere to leave it polished as long as it's clean. Check the condition of the friction shoes in the clutch, if they feel at all 'grainy' it could be they have overheated and 'cooked off' they will not last long after this as the composition of the shoes has been compromised, I know, I have a box full! Smoking is definetly from the belt and you should check the width against service spec, on a 23mm belt anything under 21.5mm is in line for replacement soon, make sure therre is no rubber residue on any of the pulley surfaces. _________________ There is no such thing as "just a car".
