NYUK Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 shift shaft and eccentric bolt adjuster are both wallered out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunes98 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Mine did the same thing when the eccentric bolt broke off. Pretty easy fix, just remove the clutch cover. You will see if its broke or not. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwriter Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 i think i put the clutch on wrong i need help its all rev and no go I'll bet you didn't line up 1 of the arrows on the pressure plate with the dimple on the inner clutch hub. The pressure plate doesn't mesh with the inner hub properly and it ends up looking like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwriter Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 It's not rocket science. The springs push on the pressure plate. The pressure plate clamps the steels and fibers together and makes the bike go. Something is obviously holding the pressure plate away. The pressure plate can go 6 different ways. Only 3 will work. If that's not it, and you have free play at the lever, then you're just going to have to take it apart and see what you assembled wrong. You are using a torque wrench on the 6 pressure plate bols, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwriter Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 As much as we would like to help you, only you can take it all back apart and find what you put together wrong. Make sure the clutch cable housing is properly in the end holders. Check the washer before and after the basket. Go back through the bottom end assembly walkthrough. Let us know what you find.
