B355y Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Hey guys recently had a small crash on my ybr. Bike was fine but the only problem was I broke my clutch lever. I bought a clutch lever online which came with a new clutch cable, so I decided to change the old one. Changed the clutch lever/cable no problem. I was riding it for a week or so back and forth to work with no problems. Then one morning I tried to ride it. Jumped on and pressed the clutch lever and there's nothing there, no resistance at all. I've adjusted the cable at the lever and the midway point on the cable to there loosest setting but it didn't make any difference to my clutch. I don't understand why this is happening, anybody got any ideas/ advice? p.s I'm a beginner so please "dumb" down your explanation so I can understand haha anyways thanks in advance

Pull the clutch lever in while watching the arm at the engine end, does it move when you pull the clutch lever in?
B355y Posted November 23, 2014 Author Posted November 23, 2014 Yeah I've checked (many times) that it's connected. The arm moves when the lever is pulled but nothing happens. I'm thinking about buying a new clutch kit as they are very cheap and just replacing it. Hopefully this will sort it
neversaydie Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Dont buy anything yet, you dont know what the problem is. Strip down first, then assess what you need. Take photos as you go, then youve something to refer to when re-assembling
B355y Posted November 23, 2014 Author Posted November 23, 2014 I will give that a try, thanks for the help I'll post back when I take a look inside the clutch casing.
