clutch

Rebuilt motor, the clutch is locked up solid. It won't budge at all. I pull the handle it hits something solid, zero give. It's not disengaged at all. Anything obvious I should look for? These are original parts, just oiled yesterday, definitely not rusted together

Hello, I am working on a chopper that has been sitting for a few years. I am having trouble finding neutral and have been going through all of the usual suspects. I freed up and set the adjuster properly but the problem still persists. I opened up the clutch cover. there are six...

has anyone got a clutch washer handy that they could measure for me please. I need the ID and the OD of the first washer that is placed against the bearing before the larger thrust washer which is 25x50x2mm . I believe it is identical to the valve seat washer in all respects but perhaps...

ok.a strange one . did the 8 plate clutch conversion with hi /low ratio primery gear.works well.but 1 prob works well all the time unless I park the bike with the back wheel pointing 90 degs to the curb,ie on the steeper slope .then have trouble finding neutral to start bike and when i finally...

Thanks in advance out there... I am in the process of an engine rebuild. The cases are split, and will be sent to the hot tank to remove some pretty nasty oily grime... My last hurdle is the gear selector forks. According to the Clymer manual, there are 2 pieces that retain the forks, in...

hey guys. I need some help. I have a 1980 XS650 and I have been doing a lot of work on it over the winter. I replaced the clutch bearing, friction plates, clutch plates, clutch springs, and stews to the allen key type. basically the whole clutch set-up. When I was all done and slapped it back...

Hi everyone, I need help, big time. I have a 71 XS1B and am just putting it back together after a restore. I find, when I tighten the clutch basket nut ,the kick starter binds up 100 %. I can remove the plates completely and its the same. I have quadrupled checked that all my parts are right and...

I haven't pulled the basket off yet to check the dampening springs, but by the KISS principle it's probably not their fault. '73 TX. developed a recent nasty grabby clutch on take-off only from a dead stop. otherwise works perfectly. can be defeated with low RPM feathered clutch release. new...

the project motors in the bike and run in ,every thing good except clutch playing up. has 8 plate clutch with high ratio gears ,17/38 sprokets . should be bedded in as 800 kls on it , when cold works well but once motor/oil heats up clutch becomes grabby/ jittery when taking off from stationary...

I responded to a close by craigslist for sale add. It was for a xs650 clutch for 10 bucks, and another 15 for a unused set of 6 Barnett clutch disks. In the clutch it has 6 disks and I dont know haw many friction plates and on the back it has 6 springs on the inside. There are markings on the...

I've read a lot of different posts on clutch adjustment problems and experimenting with different push-rods etc. Has anyone come up with a reasonable solution? When it's cold outside or the bike isn't too hot the 1/8" free play at the lever works great. After my bike warms up it will creep...

So when I start riding and the bike warms up the engine revs up to 4000 to 5000 rams when in neutral or first with clutch engaged can some one help? It's a 1975 xs650 original 4500 miles on it

Hello! I know there is threads about this subject, I read about using the old bolts and drilling them out and using a 40mm allen bolt. But i want to make some out of aluminum (as a "getting better on the lathe" exercise). Does anyone have the measurements for these spacers...

Hey guys, I was out riding yesterday and out of nowhere my clutch lever became impossible to pull with one hand. It only happened when I let the lever go completely. I have a Hugh's setup. How do you adjust th clutch with this type of setup? I plan on taking the worm gear apart and servicing...

ive got a 73 TX650, ive replaced the entire clutch from lever to plates but still have the same problem of the the clutch not disengaging when the lever is pulled, i read a thread a while ago that if you over tighten the screws over the clutch springs that this can effect clutch movement...

Dismantled the clutch from my "no provenance" motor # 3U6 0014xx, slated for my '75 resto mod (after appropriate electronic changes), was pleased to see hardly any wear on the basket, but there is this small spring clip (maybe #32?) showing that I have never seen before and which does not show...

well finally finished off project motor (only taken 5-6 yrs) and is in bike ,with the high ratio gears found at 3000 rpm doing 100kph (60mph) 4000 rpm- 120kph (with carb tuning should go better) with 17/34 sprockets so I'm taking off the hi ratio gears until the motors run in and I can fine...
