mason07shee Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 i pulled the clutch apart yesterday to check out my shift star because it wouldent down shift properly. so i reassembled everything and took it for a ride and about 20 min in my bike just made a horrible noise and started to lock up! i thought the bottom end seized up but when i got towed back it was just the inner clutch hub snapped 3 of the studs off and fucked 4 springs. what would cause this? oh and the last time i started it the kicker gear slipped when i started it what is the cause of this? everything looks fine except the inner hub and the springs rubbed the shit out of the clutch cover what else do i need to replace? thanks guys Quote
sleeper06 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 I would say you had the clutch springs to tight and when it got hot it snapped.They say 7 lbs in manuel but I use 1/4 drive ratchet 6in extension one hand snug. When u took off your cover did the kicker gear rotate at all,it just sounds like its not sitting rite,then it caught. In my opinion change inner /outer hub its only $55,your springs should be fine and youll need new studs.Make sure the washers on the motor side of basket and inner hub side are in rite. Quote

AKheathen Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 imo, it sounds like something with the presure plate, hub/basket, or discs is transfering too much tortional force to the pressure plate, rather than the inner hub splines. just something to look into :shrug: Quote
Powerstroke Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Did it look like this . Sounds like the same thing that happened to me. I think what caused my problems was a missing lock nut on the clutch rod adjuster. If you find something let us know. Quote
