cassidy1989 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 hello all! im wondering if anyone can help? this bike iv been rebuilding has been in some ones shed for 4 years with very little use!! got it running properly today but when i shift into first.. stalls! iv tried and retried adjusting the clutch on the perch and on the cable near the gear shift! but i was wondering, if it has sat that long with very little use... could the pressure plates or the actually clutch itself be sticking? maybe the clutch springs has stiffened?! any help would be great!!

Moderator Cynic Posted August 24, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 24, 2013 clutch has stuck together thats all. Rocking in fitzt may fix it. After 4 years prob be. etter to whip off the engine case and separate the plates by hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamahdan Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Have you checked the oil level? not enough oil sitting for that long would make it stick together... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
