clutch wont disengage

[geezus18]

hey fellas,
well the POS china has ****** up again!
now when i pull the clutch in and then let it go the clutch cable just goes slack and the clutch stays engaged, i have to physically push the clutch arm thing that goes into the clutch down. is the spring ******? or something to do with inside the clutch???

cheers

Umm, This used to happen to me a bit, But the bolt that holds the clutch onto the thing was too tight.. I dont know how to explain it lol, there is a bolt and a nut which holds the clutch lever onto the thing that holds the clutch lever LOL. Try loosening it and see how she goes

 

[geezus18]

ive stuffed around with the adjuster on the clutch perch and the adjuster half way down and it doesnt change anything. could the spring on the clutch arm on the engine be worn and lost its spring? theres one **** problem, i have never been able to remove my clutch cae on the side of the engine, its so tight its nearly impossible to undo and now the bolts are rounded off s i might need to use an easy out...if the problem is inside there that is!

i just got what you meant benox thats loose enough and its definatly not the problem as i can see that even thogh the clutch cable is loose the clutch arm on the engine doesnt return right down to the bottom...

those boldts can be a **** 2 get off =P mine were i put a pair of lock grips and a screw driver and pushed and turned... maybe drill the holes out but dont drill too far case then youll be in the **** bad!! but other than that yeh id say your spring needs attention

man i posted the same question last night and nowon answered me
well with a decent answer
so tonight i pulled the cover off sprayed a bit of lube on the shaft the plate and the little half moon bit on that shaft
see how you go

have fun getting the bolts out hehe

 

[Matty]

its most probably your spring. happened to me a while ago. i cant remember if you actually have to take the cover off tho...you probably do tho so yea...good luck

 

[Sidney]

maybe just take it to MPE?

 

[geezus18]

nah way to much effort taking it to adelaide. my mates dad has a mechanic who should be able to use an easy out on the cover. if it is the spring where would i get a new one, im guessing atomik would have the spare but they are my last resort as they take AGES to send new parts, goes to show the difference of customer service when feedback isnt involved
i find it weird because it just happened all of a sudden, its happened before not that long ago but i just stuffed around a little bit and it was off again.

thanx guys

coolmodee, did that solve the problem?

Hey Geezus18
Pop you clutch cable off both at the lever and the crankcase.Then check to see if the clutch cable inner moves freely,If it doesnt you may have a broken wire inside the casing causing the cable to snag !!!
Remedy a new Clutch cable from MPE of course LOL

[geezus18]

[dirttau]

[geezus18]

hey guys,
well i cranked dads power drill and put in a bit of brute force and got the clutch cover of finally! i pulled it off to discover this

what is all that CRAP! its every where..i can feel the internals are jamming and clogged up! what should i do?
Ive wiped and scrubbed a fair bit of the stuff out but its still in all the small gaps and moving parts.

cheers, Michael

 

[geezus18]

[Sidney]

wtf where would it all come from?

 

[geezus18]

i kno its dodgey as...all good duys, went to sprint and grabbed some WD40, worked a charm, clutch is all back to normal

 

[pitmaster]

its corrosion from water getting in there,

give it a real good clean, spray it, than keep riding

 

[coolmodee01]

it did for me

 

[geezus18]

haha sure did..i did need to work it a fair bit and get it all moving again..and i cleaned the **** out of the area.
