Do I need to replace my clutch?

[jonnyfresh]

Ok so I just bought an 01' blaster, all stock. Please bear with me as this is my first quad.

I was riding down a hill and when I pulle the clutch lever to shift into 6th, I lost all pressure form the lever. Thought it was the cable then realized the actuator on top of the engine had no pressure at all. Now I'm guessing this means the clutch burnt out, so I ordered a new clutch, cover gasket, an some yamalube. Do I need any other parts? Is the clutch gone or could it be something else? Haven't torn it apart yet because it's at a friends, but any input wod be appreciated

you may have broke a clutch cable

and when we replaced the clutches on my moto4 we needed a puller

could have also welded the separating ball bearing to the clutch rod

had you been holding the clutch lever in for extended periods, especially at high rpm's ????

see this thread for pics/details.............

Yeah, i held it in for probably 5 or six seconds. Then it just lost pressure. Too bad I already ordered the new clutch lol, doin the new rods and bearing for less than $20. Can't wait to tear into it

i know ken oconnor stocks the balls, might have a used rod too ???
the # is in my sig below

i've seen people say they've got a ball at ace hardware, but i'd say those are prolly chinese garbage, and stock yamaha would be a better choice

bikebandit.com should have both items also
