"GW group" is a riding group of GW250 owners - we get together for weekly rides. At the beginning of last week's ride out to Pinggu, I selfishly convinced them to first stop by Passion Moto to check on the F800GS bikes.

Just want to let you know....
I picked up another brand new X5 from the dealer last days.
This time the gear switches good so far. But it seems these bikes have a general problem.
Both bikes, old and new, have a smooth clutch as long as the engine is cold. While the engine/clutch/gearbox heat up they start to get a rough clutch behavior feel like the chain jumps over the sprocket. You can hear and feel it.
The chain was checked and is OK. Not too loose, not too tight, no damages.
After talking to my German Expert I learned it might be a problem with the clutch tolerances. The steel friction discs might stuck in the clutch basket because the heat expansion of the parts. Anyway it is a heat related thing. As soon as the engine is cool again its gone.
As soon as I have time I will disassemble the clutch and follow my friends advice to measure all parts and check where are too tight dimensions. The use a fine file to improve. Let's see if it works ... keep you updated
Does the technicians here have some tips for me?
thx ShuBen,
looking forward to your report (sorry not techi enough to give any advise, but eager to learn :icon10:)
Hi ShuBen,
I discussed the clutch thing with a friend... He rides a JH600 and had similar issues in the past. He found out that in his case it was the oil... Not sure... maybe worth checking?
Hi all,
I went to on of the dealers here in SH (Knight Rider)... and bad luck he didn't have a bike there... but lucky me... a guy showed up with his X5 and let me ride :icon10: Long story short... yes it's really a nice bike... quite agile when u pull the throttle :riding:
But I could see similar issues like described in detail from ShuBen... see pictures...Attachment 11524Attachment 11525
The fever is back.... :scooter:
He told me to wait till 15.06. as he will get the new bikes by this date... they alos move... here the new adress (after 01.06.2013)
Attachment 11526
Best
... As soon as I have time I check the thing with changing the oil type. Thanks to Snev313. And the same advice I got from my German Expert too.
Now I am waiting to get the bike plated back. Should be done by tomorrow.
