I took my bike to a place it wasn't meant to go. Deep into a forest surrounded by landslides and boulders i had to cut down trees and lever the boulders out the way. Very hard terrain for even the most skilled of riders never mind a novice like me.

Burnt out my clutch and left my bike stranded in the middle of nowhere. Then I had to walk 9K to the nearest country Road over the same terrain. Hitch a ride home. Next day, Went to the nearest bike shop some 80 K away from my home on my road bike. Clarified that the most likely part that needed to be replaced was the clutch. Then ordered new plates and springs. The next day I repeated the same journey to the bike shop and collected the parts. Today I took the journey back into the forest with the new parts and fitted the new clutch plates etc, Taking care to put them in the right And using the right torque setting etc And Of course change the oil. By the way the clutch was very Badly burnt.

Ok. Turned the bike over put it into first let the clutch out and nothing but the smell of fresh burning clutch once again.

Oh no.

Somebody, anybody help. The guy at the bike shop seems mystified by this problem.

Heres a quick run down of the symptoms.

Badly burnt clutch with particles stuck onto the metal plates from the friction plates.
One friction plate was totally smoothed.
Careful replacement of plates, springs and oil following torque settings.
Then on the center stand, slightly revving for less that one minute in first gear several times resulting in the slightest of power. I could rev the engine and stop the wheel with a finger. All this accompanied with the smell of fresh burning clutch.

Apology for long story
