phreak Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 i slapped on my new wheels and tires today and went for a little beat run. everything seemed fine then i was cruising along in 2nd gear and shifted down to 1st. as soom as i pulled the clutch in it had a lot of play in it and i couldn't get into any gear. both the lever and cable were very loose. i played around with both and when i got them to tighten up the clutch lever was pulling it self in towards the handle bars. played around with it some more and it just loosened up again. so i pushed it to where i could tow it home. grabbed my truck and went back to get it. and to my surprise...the clutch was fine. i rode it back to my house, shifting thru the gears, and everything seemed fine. what happened? i would think i need to do some adjustments to the clutch and made lube up the cable. what do you guys think?

frocashmoney24 Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 adjustment, lube the cable, check the oil and hope for the best Quote
boonman Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 Sounds like the ball and rod... usuually, the cable going slack is a sure bet.... Unless the adjuster frigged up on the pressure plate..... Quote

BrokeStonedBiker Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 its a ong teadous process thats all inknow. im having clutch issues too. just got a new cable and barnett. hopefully this will resolve it. Quote
spoin39 Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 The ball and rod are in the clutch, behind the adjustment nut in the center of the clutch basket. Quote
phreak Posted May 1, 2004 Author Report Posted May 1, 2004 (edited) well...it looks like its the clutch cable. i took it off and tried lubing it up. i threw it back on and the samething is happening. i'm pretty sure its the cable because when it sticks i can free it up by wiggling the cable. and just my luck...the local yamaha dealer doesn't have one in stock . since i'm going to have to wait a few days...i might as well go with an aftermarket one. any suggestions on a good replacement clutch cable? :edit for dumbass mistake: Edited May 1, 2004 by phreak Quote
dirttrack25 Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 so your throttle cable is making your clutch lever have a bunch of play? Quote
phreak Posted May 1, 2004 Author Report Posted May 1, 2004 (edited) oops...i meant clutch cable not throttle cable. previous post fixed. Edited May 1, 2004 by phreak Quote
