Hi guys! Very new to blasters and was wondering why my clutch won't fully disengage until the bike warms up. It trys to move when kicking it unless its in neutral. Any help would be gladly appreciated.
clutch problem
- Thread starter Lil Tony
- Start date
its possible that the clutch plates could be cold and sticking together...or it needs to be adjusted abit....did u try adjusting it on the bars
from awk:
here we go again, lucky im just copy and pastin this............... it took me 4 or 5 times to get this right, very frustrating, do all this with the cable disconnected at the hand lever so it doesnt effect the internal adjustment, open her up, again!!!, loosen the locknut and screw, back it out a little, (the adjustment shaft in the middle of the clutch basket) then where the cable connects to the motor lever,theres a notch that lines up, look on the engine lever for the little point and a mark on the case, line these up, make sure it doesnt move while adjusting, a freind would be good here, then move to the other side, tighten the rod in with a small straight screwdriver till you feel it touch, then i think i read somewhere to back it off 1/2 a turn,then tighten the locknut, <<<<definately use locktite here, mine almost came loose, and thats disaster, then reconnect the cable to the hand lever, and adjust your slack i also did this with the wheels off the ground, so i could spin them with the clutch lever pulled in,to see if the wheels spun free, or if there was engine lag as i released it, before i put it all back together

Thanks alot guys for the help. Adjusted it and now its perfect. I'm having a ball with my $200 blaster. i'd love to upgrade my brakes tho. Any suggestions on the cheap side? Kinda hard hard keeping 3 KTM's and a blaster running.
Awk sells a nice rear brake setup for 130 i think?
and norman sells a nice front conversion for 200.
