bram Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 I`ve got a Yamaha XJ600S Diversion. 1994 It`s been off the road since January,when i start it up pull the clutch in it`s making a noise when i put it in gear it stalls. Any help much appreciated. Thanks
Moderator mervin Posted July 11, 2011 Moderator Posted July 11, 2011 sounds like the clutch plates have stuck together to me, not quite sure how you would go about clearing em on a heavier bike ,but on the RD,s etc i bump start em and ride along with the clutch pulled in applying the back brake until it clears, and i have the advantage of being in the country on very quiet roads, if you cannot bump start it you maybe able to get it in gear by getting it running down hill before you try to engage first

Put the bike on the centre stand, remove the oil filler cap, stand on the LH side of the bike, pull in the clutch lever and keep it in, lean over the seat and with a small but long flat bladed screwdriver insert the end between the plates and twist the screwdriver gently. Repeat on all plates. Don't forget to replace oil filler cap.
