Starwriter Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 WTF? You need to learn the names of the clutch components and then describe exactly what happens when you pull the clutch lever and let it out. Clutch lever Cable Actuator Pushrod Ball Pressure plate Inner hub Fibers Steels Basket Cushions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron109 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Just that part that sticks outta the case that moves when you pull the clutch lever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 That's the clutch actuator. Now tell us EXACTLY what happens when you try to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron109 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I just pushed that rod back to see if it'd hold itself like the clutch was engaged but it just stalled out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron109 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I pushed the push lever to see if it'd engage the clutch and I could rev it while it was in gear but as soon as I put it in gear it stalls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Well stop fucking around and pull the clutch cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 As little information as we're getting from the OP, it could be as simple as a stranded clutch cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Even though your posts make no sense at all, I believe that you are genuinely trying. So, here goes. Let's get some basics out there first. Clutch engaged--- you're riding across the dunes in a gear and your fingers are not touching the clutch lever Clutch disengaged---You're sitting in the parking lot waiting on your buddies. Trans is in 1st gear, clutch lever pulled against the grip, engine running, bike not moving There are basically only 3 SYMPTOMS of clutch problems. Clutch will not disengage-- You pull the clutch lever to the bar, stomp the shifter into gear and the bike lurches and the engine dies Clutch will not engage---You pull the clutch lever, shift into 1st, let the clutch out and the bike just sits there Clutch works normally, but slips when you're really getting on the throttle Now that we have those terms explained, start diagnosing. You should have about 1/2" of free play in the clutch lever on the bars. This is the distance that the lever pulls easily. The actual amount isn't critical as long as it's a close. 1/4" to 1" will still work. If you have 3" of free play, the clutch will not disengage completely. Assuming you have some amount of free play, now go to the clutch actuator(lever on top of the case). Push the actuator towards the right side of the bike. It should push easy for a small amount. When it stops with just light pressure, the pointer on the arm should line up with the pointer on the top of the case. If it doesn't, then you have things wrong in the clutch and the clutch cover needs to come off. It could be that someone adjusted the pressure plate adjustment screw wrong, a worn out clutch, or other problems. All clutch problems can be fixed without splitting the cases EXCEPT a severely welded clutch ball that is stuck inside the trans shaft. If the pointers line up properly, check your freeplay at the clutch lever on the bars. If it was fine before and now all of a sudden, you have way too much freeplay, the clutch cable stretched. Probably broke most of the strands, and the few remaining strands stretched. Now, let us know what you find based on this information.

WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 This is simple.....your clutch fibers are stuck together. You can start the bike in neutral. ..but as soon as you put it in gear it stalls right? Start bike in neutral Rev motor up high Kick into first and get going (clutch lever can't be feathered yet....this is a neutral drop into first.) Get bike on pavement and at LOW SPEEDS get in and out of gas like you were trying to pop wheelies. (Hard throttle hit followed by hard backload.) You might need to try 2-3 gear if it won't free up in first. But keep youe speeds LOW. After a few stabs of tge gas followed by a heavy deceleration backload, the clutch fibers should free up And your clutch lever action shoukd return. NOTE: It can be common for fibers to stick a little the first time you let a clutch out if the bike has sat for a bit. A hard rev just prior to kicking it into 1st usually frees thigs up. Yours is a more extreme case most likely due to old tranny oil and/or outside storage. Once clutch is freed up....change fluids and store bike indoors.
