Changing of clutch plate and clearing exhuast.

[Sofakingpro]

Hi all,

 

I recently got my bike and there are 2 things that I want to know about.

 

1. I realise it is very hard for me to hit neutral gear and I was told by a friend that it is the problem of the clutch plate and if I want to have a easier time shifting to neutral gear, I have to change the clutch plate. So what i want to ask is how much is it to change (average)

 

2. My exhaust is also coming out a lot of white smoke especially when I rev, I was told I need to decarbonize(is this the word to use?), so how much is it to decarbonize it (average)

 

And also lastly where is a suitable place to go to?

 

Thanks a lot people. A newbie rider here

bro try stating what bike your using.When is your last engine oil change?White smoke coming out of a 4 stroke bike=bad news.as for where to decarbon,u can either do it in sg $80+? or go Jb do aorund $30+? or just wack yur bike once in awhile.

Oh my bike is Aprilia RS125, Last oil change was just last week.

ur biting point is too near,adjust it abit further n u will hit neutral easily,damaged clutch plate when u ride it will sudden drop gear,if u dont experience it then no need to change clutch plate

Oh, wow thanks a lot. I thought I needed to change my clutch plate!

If u wan oil yur cable try not to use WD40.Overtime it will turn sticky.Use those wax base type.just my 2.cent

Oh.. 0k sure! Thanks a lot man. I will check on it =D

[fleas]

from what i heard, white smoke emitting could be caused by water; meaning water contamination in petrol/carb? Correct me if im wrong :

[koxie]

if early morning,cold weather it's fine if your endcan is coming out white smoke.other then that=bad news.

Alright! thanks a lot for all your help!

Try adjust ur bitting point further. If not put to 1st gear and see if your bike moves when at clutch in. if moves meaning ur "clutch skin" finishing and you need to change. When clutch skin finish u will also experience difficulty kicking to neutral.. try go bikeworkz and do a check...
