TE/TC TE250 Clutch issue

I ordered the Slavens 280psi spring, will update once i have it installed and tested. I think it was around $50.

I just got a stock spring as previously mentioned. It was $36 CDN (I too am in Canada). Really hope the new springs help you guys!

Can anyone tell me which way is more pressure on the index ring? X or Z?

Finally got my spring and installed it. Problem solved!

Good to hear. I have one ordered but apparently it was backordered but I'm told it should be here next week. Fingers crossed! Why are so many of these things coming warped from the factory? KTM should put out a recall...

Make sure you let your dealer know the problem and solution so that KTM track it. It's the only way they can track down the root cause and investigate manufacturing discrepancies.

Sure enough, I just replaced the belleville spring with a new OEM one and the drag seems to be gone.

Glad you're back to having proper clutch action.

Same here, ordered the OEM Bellville spring, installed it and problem solved. bike is 2014 TE250

Change to Rottela T6 5w40 oil and this issue will go away.

Well I just went from one issue to another. Got my new spring a while ago and waited for weeks while my dealership tried to get husky to cover it, to no avail. And when they weren't prepared to cover it themselves I just took it home (for the 20 minutes it takes to replace it). However I just bought a new inch pound torque wrench specifically for the bike and it doesn't work the same way as my big one. My big wrench clicks (audibly and you feel it give way) where this one doesn't really do anything. Upon further attempts with I do notice a small click but barely!!! Anyway needless to say, I stripped the threads right out of the base which the spring retainer bolts into. What a joke. Now does anyone think a helicoil would work fine or could that offset the balance of the clutch?? Not sure how finely tuned these things as. Going on 2 months without riding now.....torture

i just did a first trans oil change, 50/50 10w30 and atf type f. what little drag there was is negligible now. btw a 2014 tc250.

That sucks. You could always use the empoxy form-a-thread to make new threads. Really those bolts aren't torqued in there that tight from my memory. I didn't even bother with a torque wrench, just used T-tool.

Hey Guys thread dig sorry, just found this while looking for the problem with my clutch, Hopefully the new bellville spring I ordered will solve the problem, got one with the new clutch pack from ktm but I have tried everything and still dragging. BTW I'm on a 14 te250.

I'm also riding a 14 TE250. The new spring fixed the problem instantly. My bike was brand new at the time. If you took off the clutch cover and pulled the clutch you could see that the clutch was not disengaging evenly. Being that your bike is a couple years old it could just need a proper bleeding of the clutch master/slave cyl.

Have a look at the shorty clutch and brake levers from http://www.midwestme.com/index.html
I've been running them for years and love them.

No more crushing of pinky and ring fingers and lighter actuation...
