Clutch problem

[garydisco]

Hi everyone im new to the whole world of quads and my first is a blaster i got a few weeks ago. So my problem is i ran out of petrol while out in d woods the other day so one of my mates towed me home. when i was being towed i had the engine switch turned off and she wasnt going into neutral easy so i just said id hold d clutch lever while i was being towed, we were just going at a nice handy pace and next thing something to do with the clutch went and the quad just reved, when i went to use the clutch again the lever was really loose and wasnt biting at all and the clutch hasnt worked since...any ideas what the problem could be? is the clutch gone?

You may have fused the ball bearing to the shaft inside the clutch. You should never hold the clutch in for long periods of time while in gear.

And if that's the problem how do I go about fixing it?

You will need a manual. Do a search, there are several on line.
You will be removing the right side cover and the clutch center to pull or drive the rod out if it is fused. Any luck you just wore the plates and need to adjust the screw in the center of the clutch. The plates may be glazed too, and may need to be replaced.

You really do need a manual so have a search.

it could also be the lock washer on the nut came loose in the basket, my banshee broke the tabs off the washer a few weeks ago and I had no lever pull, but it would still pull, I just went slow and got it home and tore it apart. if you take it all off always replace that washer!
