[Spits] Clutch judder

[Roger Elliott]

Another place to check is the differential mounts.  When we were at the 
VTR in CA last October, my wife's TR250 was juddering badly.

We took it to a shop, after a test drive they took it into the shop and 
put it on jack stands.  Then with the engine running, they applied the 
brakes and let out the clutch.  (They applied the brakes to provide some 
resistance).  You could see the differential wind up to one side, then 
swing back to the other and repeat the process.

After the differential mounts, were replaced the problem was gone.
