Badasshee Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Every time i pop it into first or do a second gear start it doesnt seem to lock up straight away. its like it just slowly grabs but once its hooked up it doesnt do it when im riding or shifting through the gears. it doesnt feel like its slipping once its engaged, it just seems like it takes it time at first. is my clutch warn out and slipping or is it just out of adjustment?

swrbansheeboy Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 not to be captain obvious here but.... have you even attempted to adjust your clutch? usualy before asking if your clutches are bad you would have made a post similar to "my clutch was slipping so i adjusted it by doing (blah-blah-blah)and still no luck, still slipping like a bitch. i'm not sure i adjusted it correctly so if anyone has any ideas on how i might have done it wrong let me know but im thinking my clutch might be shithouse..." going off the information you've provided i'd say try adjusting your clutch and see if your problem gets better. if not then you probably need to replace your clutch... if your looking for someone here to show up on your doorstep and troubleshoot your problem then i doubt it will happen but you can always dream.... most here are willing to help those that are willing to help themselves, try adjusting your clutch then come back here if it doesnt work....

swrbansheeboy Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 you guys can call me a dick all you want but if your question is between replacing your clutch and adjusting it then to me common sense says you should try and adjust it before you swap the clutch out. then to follow up by stating that you've owned 3 bikes (one of them being "dragged out" ) leads me to believe that you should know how to adjust a clutch or at least know how to read a manual that can tell you how to adjust your clutch. sorry if i offended all of you but i think it's pretty obvious that when given the option of spending some coin for a new clutch or not spending anything by adjusting it then you'd go with the latter... especialy if you've owned 3 bikes and one of them was "dragged out" and shit... adjust the clutch first since it's free. if that doesnt work then swap the fluid, see if that cures your problem. if not then you can grab a manual and a dial caliper and mic your fibers to see if there still in spec and visualy inspect your steel's to make sure there not blued/scored or warped. if anythings off then replace it. how much hp are you pushing? if your around 50hp or less you can get away with a set of tusk clutches and steels from rocky mt for pretty cheep. http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/productD...2#vehicleSelect but hey, dont listen to me. like fever said....i'm just running my mouth because i dont know anything. you notice how much advice he gave you.... and call me an arrogant asshole, thats fine. if i'm arrogant because i expect you to try and adjust your clutch or at least ask how to adjust your clutch before you ask if your clutch is smoked then i guess i'm an arrogant asshole...

(the part that answered my question) trust me if i had a manual id look so i wouldnt have to deal with people bitching about it, but i dont so i asked. answer the question or dont say anything at all. its putting out over 50 havent dynoed it but it was clocked over 60mph up sand mountain.
