Clutch problem

[Dead Op]

OK, since I got my bike a while back. And after I had the frame and shit pc'd I always noticed my clutch is acting weird. Take for instance when I am rolling the quad out of my garage (down hill) It is real hard to move, this is with it in 1st gear, not started holding the clutch in. When I start it while it is in gear, obviously with the clutch in I will kick it over and start but it will move forward too!! Like if the clutch were grabbing too much. Any help! BTW I run bel ray exp 20w 50 in th and change the oil every 10 hours :beer:

Two obvious things to check would be cable adjustment and the clutch pushrod adjustment. If these are both OK then your clutch basket may be grooved badly and need replacing.

What master said, or a broken clutch plate. Gonna have to go diggin :ermm:

While started, does it try to roll very fast with the clutch in. Its pretty common to no be able to roll one while in gear w/clutch in, or for it to want to roll a little bit while in gear. It takes a few rotations of the crankshaft (tires) to get the clutch to working.

 

But......just tighten the cable. That should fix it. Don't get it too tight or it'll slip and you'll fry it.
