hondaracing02 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 My clutch cable but tensioner slipped off, and i thought the cable broke, so for a couple days, i was shifting without the clutch. could this have caused my pushrod to freeze up? becuase normally it would just slide back & forth in there right?

Bennett131 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Did you split the cases yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondaracing02 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Ive pulled the motor, waiting on clymer to split the cases. been watching vidoes. Just wanted to learn the WHY in this situation, why the push rod froze up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Pulling your clutch and holding it in for long periods of time. Revving while holding in just builds heat and welds it faster. Once you put a pancake bearing on the pusher it spins free when you pull the clutch. So the amount of friction and heat built up is cut in half or less= no welding. Got it?

RagunCajun Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Might as well put a brand new rod and ball in there. Also buy a Cascade Inov pancake bearing. That way it's all new. One little bur or bad spot in the rod or ball could make it weld the next time you coast with it. I didn't believe people when they said do that. First 5 minutes with my override, clutch lever went limp..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondaracing02 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 thanks guys!! makes sense! Didnt know that would cause it. I pull clutch in on my honda 450r all the time and rev it, could this cause damage too? Also I plan to put a new rod and ball in, as well as do the pancake bearing upgade, just need to figure out how to get the old seized pushrod out lol. Everyone on here says my only option is to split the cases I guess... was hoping there was another way but guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigweav81 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 You could've split 15 cases by now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I know it's very scary to split the cases but the Clymer does a good job. So yes, looks like you have to get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigweav81 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 It's a scary thought. One of my first post..can I not just turn my engine upside down? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 No, they say split them because the rod is in the tranny and the only way is splitting. There isnt much to splitting. -pull stator cover and clutch cover -remove flywheel and stator/plate. -remove clutch pack with 6 bolts then big center one, all slides off (If you want to leave topend on run a tie down or zip ties from the crank snout over the head and back down to the other side crank nut. To hold crank into top case) -remove the half moon safety tab behind basket -pop the kicker off, it just sits there in a hole with a spring in a slot. -remove the 8 bolts on top(I think 8) -remove the 8 nuts underneath CASES WILL NOW SPLIT Now pull the trans out and keep track of where the forks slide into each gear slot. Take pics as you go. Easy peezy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
