clutch problems

13 Jul 2008 18:41

I have clutch problems. My clutch is feeling as if its hanging. You can let it all the way out and it hesitates then takes off. The cable, clutch, springs are all new. Any ideas whats wrong.

You may need to check lubing in the clutch rod or the mechanism that operates the pushrod that is found in the sprocket cover

I would suggest removing the clutch mechanisms cover(s) and look closely at how it operates. It is not uncommon to see play or looseness in the operation of the various pivot areas and maybe worn to the point of failure.

The shop manual is the first them I'd open up.
