99,88banshee Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 I got this bike from a co-worker in a trade. well i put a new top end in it when i got, with vito power pistons and put a cool head on with 18 or 19cc domes on it. i was riding at the dunes last year when it felt like the clutch was slipping. so i went to put a new barnnet clutch in when i found that there wasn't a ball in the housing with the push rod. so I bought a ball to go in there. now the out side of the clutch wont go on. so ifigured i would then take the push rod out and see if the guy i worked with may have put a different one in there, well the rod must have a huge burr on the other end because it wont come out, but it does move a 1/4 inch or so freely. where should i start to fix this thing?

Wallrat Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 The ball welded itself to the rod. Usually happens when you pull in the clutch in 6th gear and shift down to first or pull in the clutch going down a long hill. Basically there's no easy way to get the focker out...just work at it.

lineybiker_11 Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 mine just did that too. but it melted the little arm that the clutch cable goes to and blew a hole in the side of the case! $100 in parts and lots of this special putty.

icemanscold Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 This happened to me several times. Finally I installed a pancake bearing in there to act like a throwout bearing. Works awesome, and when you put it first gear you do not get that slam in the rear end like you do stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIRTBIKEZ Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Did some searching through old posts and havent been able to locate this pancake/ thrust bearing kit. Does someone have a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDD Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 www.kdcycle.com has the kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frocashmoney24 Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 or you can go the cheap route, and put 2 quarts of oil in there, so the ball and rod are always covered in oil. tis what i do anyway, if you need anouther ball and rod let me know, i got one for sale.
