    Clutch or Transmission issues

    I think removing my right cover and looking at the plates would be my next steps. (Previously)The clutch lever had no resistance and would also not spring back so I removed the left cover found the cable detached and cleaned every inch, removed the worm and greased it, put it together(it does...

    Clutch or Transmission issues

    Thanks Jim, I’ll give it a shot. Since my short time here I’ve got her cleaned up pretty well, electrical works great, needed a few new bulbs, brakes work(had to rebuild the front caliper), changed oil filter and sump filter, replaced a broken turn indicator stud, new spark plugs, disassembled...

    Clutch or Transmission issues

    This is what is happening to me. But I haven’t checked for the rubbing just yet. Just replaced the oil, there goes $25 if I need to pull that cover right?. Haha

    took me a few times of reading that but I see what your saying. It’s the clutch that’s acting up when engaged or disengaged.

    Clutch or Transmission issues

    So I can start it in 1st, I can start it in 2nd. When I start it in neutral I can shift gears and the bike doesn’t move or make grinding noises. Only time it starts to make a noise is when I disengage the clutch(squeeze the clutch lever) but it still doesn’t try to move

    Clutch or Transmission issues

    I’ll try this. No clue if the discs are stuck. I’m assuming you’re asking me to start the bike, apply the rear brake, pull in the clutch lever, put it in 1st and see if it engages?

    Clutch or Transmission issues

    Is there a possibility something is stuck then because the clutch nut/bolt adjuster is backed almost all the way out to where when I pull the clutch lever in you don’t see the adjuster thing spiral inward.

    no brakes applied. Bike is in 1st while turned off and I’m trying to push it and it rolls fine… I apply pressure to the clutch lever a s the bike comes to a halt.

    Clutch or Transmission issues

    When the bike is in gear the rear tire spins(not freely as if the bike is in neutral) however when I apply the clutch THEN it locks up as if it is in gear.

    Hahaha welp I’m thinking the brake fluid is no good and likely need to replace the entire line. Looks like jelly in there.

    Yamaha Special 650 - barn find - Identifying

    I did notice that ball bearing and I did clean and grease it. It was still present when reassembling. My concern is more on the other side of that push rod, I reviewed the previous picture and it looked to be removed, cleaned, greased and reinstalled so I did exactly that. Just worried when I...

    everything looked good, when you said “cautious of the clutch push rod seal area” you mean as far as scratching it or spraying a ton of water in there or parts going where they shouldn’t??? curious because the lever works fine, I can see the clutch stud/nut adjuster move when I pull the lever...
