Driggs Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 I've noticed that when I have the clutch held in and also in gear, it feels like it's not letting go. I notice this when I'm trying to roll it down the ramps off the truck and just try to hold the clutch in so it can roll and it won't. I have to find neutral so it’ll roll. I also have a hell of a time finding neutral the majority of the time (running or not). I had a lot of slack in my clutch cable so I adjusted that and I'm still having the same issue. Any ideas or is this normal? Quote
theshee Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 stock clutch? Adjusted right? How old is the clutch? Does it get looser after you ride it? Sometimes if a banshee sits a while the clutch plates stick together till you pump the clutch or ride the bike and shift a couple times... Quote

Driggs Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Posted September 2, 2009 It's an 06 and just bought it a month ago so I doubt anything has every been done to the clutch. It was stock except for pipes. I'm not sure if it's any different after I've been riding. I'll have to test this weekend. As far as the clutch actuator, I'm not sure. I'll have to check that. Is that the same as the "clutch align marks" that the manual talks about? Quote

Should be out of adjustment but your bike shouldn't "not" disengage either but that is what is happening. Definitely sounds like something is out of adjustment. SP Quote
Driggs Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Posted September 2, 2009 Thanks guys. I'll check tomorrow and let you know. Quote
Rodneya Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Its normal, the clutch plates stick together when the motor is not running. Mine did it sometimes with stock and aftermarket clutch And don't worry too much about the clutch alignment marks. They don't have too be aligned for the clutch to work correctly. Quote

Driggs Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Posted September 2, 2009 Glad to know that I'm too weak (6'7, 250 lbs) :-) and that’s its normal for what I'm describing. I’ll check the adjustments and be done with it. Thanks guys. Quote
