Clutch no longer works
-
Hello, my clutch wire recently snapped and in the process the lever on the engine block that controlls the clutch and the other end of the clutch wire goes into. Well this lever no longer works it just moves freely with no resistance. A friend of mine told me to lift it up and reposition it to get the clutch working again but after an hour of trying i just dont get it. Ive also tried to practise on a spare engine block thats open so i can see what im doing better but no luck.
I have a yamaha dt125x 2006
Thank you in advance and sorry for weak english its my second language -
Hello there,
There isn't much too the clutch arm. Basically the clutch arm has a cam on it and a rod with a ball a bearing followed by another rod.
When you pull the lever, it actuates the cam which pushes the rods to overcome the clutch springs which is holding the clutch plates down.
Based on that description, assuming nothing else has changed, either you haven't adjusted the clutch cable enough, or the fact you've pulled the cam out may have caused the push rod to take it's gap, meaning the cam is no longer engaging the rod.
I am not sure if that's even possible, I have always put the rods in before the clutch arm and I've never had an issue. So it's probably that you haven't adjusted the clutch cable properly.
