KevA Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Hi, I've got a 1997 Fantic 249 with oil leaking from the clutch cover. I've got a replacement gasket but can I just undo the plate and replace or will it be spring loaded and a bad idea? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 For info this is a push bike trials forum rather than moto but there should be nothing stopping you removing the cover and replacing the gasket- all the springy bits are contained as part of the clutch assembly. Obviously drain the oil first to minimise mess. Also worth checking out why it's leaking in the first place- if it's just an old gasket that's disintegrating then fair enough but if there's corrosion on the engine casing or cover you might want to clean things up a bit before replacing the gasket.

KevA Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 A forum for push bike trials - I didn't spot that so thank you enormously for answering and with a really good answer. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
