@declan If playing with the lever doesn't do it and the bike doesn't stall in neutral then you have clutch issues.

I would personally drain the oil and take off your clutch cover and check to make sure your clutch springs are correctly torqued. You will need a torque wrench and a manual to find the parts and specifications, you can probably find one online. If your clutch springs are correct, then some new parts are in order. If they aren't, you can have a go at torqueing them up to the correct specification, putting oil in and seeing how it performs. Again, personally, I would take it all apart and make sure your plates are within good limitations. It is a very simple job to do as long as you're confident, it will also allow you to see how the bike has been maintained.

@minia the bike stalls in gear after like 5 seconds unless I blip it it’s a shame really clutch will cost 60 and then the wrench it’s money I don’t have but that’s life from what I’ve read no manual was made for these bikes it don’t die in gear if it’s say on the garden and not properly warmed up

[declan]

@declan I think I’ll get the cover off soon lads the shop didn’t even put the plug in it wasn’t even tight so maybe there’s a chance it’s on low oil or wrong oil?

[Minia]

@declan Of course there is a manual mate. Give it an oil change if you think it is required. Can't go wrong with that.

@minia ahhh life saver mate thank you

[declan]

@minia you have got to be fucking kidding me https://imgur.com/a/7FB24rX

Is that snapped off or missing?

Either way there is your problem.

No biggie though, easy fix.

[Irongamer727]

I did that on my DT. I managed to unscrew it somehow anyway. Luckily I have a spare engine so I could fix it right away.

[declan]

@calum it’s snapped so I need a new basket

[declan]

@calum the threaded cylinder is snapped so I have no thread to screw one back into unless I can helicoil or something similar

[Calum]

@declan It's not totalled mate. You can take it to someone competent, they will just drill the existing bolt out without damaging the thread. Simples.

[declan]

@calum it’s not there bud the entire thread that the bolt goes into is gone completely there’s no left over bolt

[Calum]

@declan Oh ryt, yeah, you would need to tig it back on.

I've seen these happen before when someone tries to under the clutch center bolt without the proper tool.

Yeah, again, it's not the end of the world. A piece of bar can be machined out and tig welded into place. But you're probably better off getting a new basket.

[declan]

@calum wouldn’t be able to afford one by luck there’s a second hand one on eBay 20 pound but it’s not in the best of condition but I really don’t have a choice

[Minia]

@declan Well at least you know what the exact problem is now, for good measure though I'd disassemble that clutch entirely and see what it looks like... could give you an idea on how the previous owner treated it.

[declan]

@minia the clutch will have to come apart to be replace sim just trying to find a replacement I’m on the right track

[declan]

@minia don’t suppose you could ask your pals if they know of a clutch hub that drops right in I’ve found one or two but can’t be sure

[Minia]

@declan Honestly, I don't think they'll know. They're young fools so it's more about enjoying it until it breaks rather than keep it running... I can ask them if they know contacts of people who'd be able to supply the parts you need. But since my mates are french it will complicate things. You can look online on forums and facebook.

As long as you have the part numbers of what you need, you can phone up any motorcycle parts distributor and hope that if they don't have the part they know the contact details of someone who can get it for you.
