LIM_Whiteboy4life Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Lets see who can guess what the cause is.. lol (only way to keep positive thoughts... ) Ok i was racing a RM125 and a tired CR250 kickin ass of course... anyway i deside to get them out of the hole with some 2nd gear launches. First time went great put a quad length on the 125 before i hit 3rd... anyway second race i shift/slip/shift/slip... and the clutch cover is pretty warm... almost too warm. I was doin the mistake of coasting with the clutch pulled in to a stop. Its making a rattling noise when the clutch is pulled in and it only grabs when the clutch is close to full release. The clutch holds until the power kicks in. Its a Barnett Kevlar clutch with 6HD's with 20+ hours on it and i use belray 80w. EDIT: the clutch is properly adjusted and i inspect it every other ride and change the fuilds as frequently as i can. Edited March 9, 2009 by LIM_Whiteboy4life Quote

I would shift into the next gear (clutchless shifting) and pin it and all i would get is rev's and no pull... same in every gear. Quote
J-Madd Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Clutch is just fried, or the springs came loose, or the adjuster push rod is loose. No big deal. Quote
BlasterKX Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 damn ya sounds like the clutch just needs replaced. take apart and inspect is all u can do Quote
Screaming Yellow Zonker Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 just sounds like you fried it. Quote
AKheathen Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 fibres are fried. i know kevlar is pretty grabby when it's hot, so you probably didn't notice them starting to go Quote
LIM_Whiteboy4life Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Posted March 14, 2009 Eh no big whoop. I just thought i could add some more FAQ issues to the clutch problem/symptoms and figure it out. I replaced the OE spring bolts with stainless ones w/ washers, longer also... helps make it an easier install. Well they backed out and caused the slipping issue, so im curing it overnight with some blue loctite and see how it holds up. Quote

LIM_Whiteboy4life Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Posted March 14, 2009 No not at all... as soon as the problem started i stoped check the fluid and told everyone that the bike is done for today and limped it back to the truck. It rode fine as long as i didnt get into it. I rode an 86' YZ 100 2 stroke for the rest of the day awsome bike lol Quote
