VinXCz Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Hi Guys, when i push my bike a little bit harder when in gear (without holding down the clutch), it is moving forward. Is this common or i need to check anything...??!!
Ttaskmaster Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 - Bike engine running. - Bike in gear. - Clutch held in. - Increase in throttle. And the bike still moves forward? Check your clutch cable adjustment (fully detailed in your owners manual). It should not engage until you let the lever quite a way out... If you are doing the above, but NOT holding the clutch lever, then that is how a geared bike actually works!! If you mean all the above, but the bike is switched OFF - That *can* be normal. I've done this with some lightweight bikes in order to push-start them. You do need to put a fair bit of effort in to move it, though and it's not something I'd advise doing very often...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted July 14, 2014 Moderator Posted July 14, 2014 It is easier on a small cc, single cylinder bike. That said, I would recommend putting petrol in it and riding it; It is much more fun. 4
VinXCz Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Guys thanks for the information, but the bike is not started, not holding the clutch lever, not in neutral, but till the bike has some restricted movement.
Ttaskmaster Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 How much 'restricted movement'? A few inches, a couple of feet, or can you push it halfway down the road? How does it perform when the bike *is* started and you put it in gear with the clutch held in... or mostly in? Does it still creep forward?
VinXCz Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Normal push is restricted, but more push will overcome it, the restriction and overcoming of it happens in cycles. When bike is started it performs normal, it doesn't creep forwards with clutch held in.
blackhat250 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Is it just compression your going thru,,,,[ cycles]
Noise Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Yer i can push Betty when in gear and clutch out, takes some grunting and smelly damp patches in the groin area but it can be done.............not sure why you want to do it tho but guess we all have licked a 9v battery to find out what its like
Ttaskmaster Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 takes some grunting and smelly damp patches in the groin area That'll be a hernia, mate... 1
