Mattchev Posted March 10, 2016 Report Posted March 10, 2016 what are some reasons why clutch wont engage?? After bike rebuild, having some clutch issues. Clutches look good, soaked in oil for 45 mins - hour before install. Lined arm and arrow up and adjusted properly. Made sure pressure plate was in tight and flush with last fiber. When i start the bike and put in gear, you cant really feel the bike go into gear like usual. When lever is pulled and bike is in gear, it will want to move when you rev bike, and when you let out the clutch, the bike doesnt want to go anywhere. Any ideas? Quote
trickedcarbine Posted March 10, 2016 Report Posted March 10, 2016 Check that you assembled it with the shift rod and the ball. Some guys tend to lose it taking it apart and forget to put it in. Also, if you have adjusted everything else, did you also check the adjuster on the pressure plate? Also try just clocking the pressure plate again a few ways to see if it can seat any further. Quote
Mattchev Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Posted March 10, 2016 yup shift rod and ball in there. i adjusted it with the adjuster on the pressure plate. Will try to clock pressure plate a few more ways, but ive done it three times and it seems to be doing the same thing Quote
trickedcarbine Posted March 10, 2016 Report Posted March 10, 2016 Something is fucky. Thrust washers are in correct? It'll end up being something simple but easily overlooked. Quote
Mattchev Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Posted March 10, 2016 thrust washers behind the basket? Quote
sleeper06 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Posted March 10, 2016 Behind basket and behind inner hub, proper amnt of plates/fibers Quote
Mattchev Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Posted March 10, 2016 yeah all washers were put in correct. Just put in new clutch today and still doing same thing. Checked ball and rod, made sure pressure plate was in right. I have no clue whats goin on Quote
Mattchev Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Posted March 10, 2016 Adjusted screw in pressure plate, arrows are lined up good. pressure plate separates good when i pull clutch lever Quote
sheerider11 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Posted March 10, 2016 Your missing something somewhere. All the fibers and steels there? You started and ended with a fiber? 110% the pressure plate is sitting correct? Arrows on PP line up with dot on inner hub? Is the key way in the pto gear? Shift shaft on the star? Quote
Shee_fast Posted March 10, 2016 Report Posted March 10, 2016 I'm also having a clutch issue...when I pull my clutch lever in the cable won't go out..any ideas as well Sent from my VS810PP using Tapatalk Quote
Mattchev Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Posted March 10, 2016 Yup all fibers and steels, started and ended with fiber. 120% pressure plate is sitting correct..before I put fibers in, I lined it up and made a mark just to be sure. Key way def in pto gear and shift shaft is on star. It clicks through all gears fine. Quote

Key way def in pto gear and shift shaft is on star. It clicks through all gears fine.I don't know. If the pto key way wasn't in the bike wouldn't start anyway. But have you tried turning the clutch by hand with it in gear? How much free play in the lever? Quote
Mattchev Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Posted March 12, 2016 So when I roll the bike when it's in gear, there is not much resistance. It kinda just rolls almost as if the clutch is pulled. I took out pressure plate and pulled out fibers and steels and checked out inner hub and there were some gashes in it, which may have been keeping the steels to be able to move back and forth Quote
VegasJeff Posted March 12, 2016 Report Posted March 12, 2016 If it's a stock basket, check to see if the drive gear didn't shear the rivets off the back of the basket.I had it happen once.... Quote
