Jryan88 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 bike worked fine, then i changed the handle bars, in doing so i did break the throttle cable. but anyway now the clutch wont disengage.. and the cable is not broken, and i've playing with adjustment. i cannot get the back tire to spin freely in gear. and in neutral the kick start spins the tire.

If the plates stick together it will stop your clutch from disengaging because they have to seperate for it to do so. good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted July 23, 2009 Moderator Share Posted July 23, 2009 i'd check the worm gear on the clutch cover is not broken. its only plastic and I'm not sure how you can break a 200lb breaking strain cable unless its rotten!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duaneage Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 IF the bike is definately in neutral the clutch should be out of the picture as it does not engage the engine, only the input shaft of the transmissiion. If you have not already done so, remove the left side cover where the clutch cable enters and see if there is anything broken or jammed. Spinning the rear tire in neutral when you turn the engine indicates a transmission problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
