Hard Clutch Pull

[ryanbohr]

My clutch lever is so hard to pull where I have to almost use my weight by moving forward then pulling the lever while I move my body back to make it easier to pull. Also, when the lever is around 3/4 pull, it makes a click noise like it is slipping off of something. Does anybody know what would cause this?

it's all worn the hell out, perch/lever, and when was the last time the cable was cleaned and lubed ???

i'd get a new cable..........

Could grooved clutch basket contribute to this too? Maybe that is getting a little worn out.

very good addition to the causes !!!!!I:I

If the clutch basket is worn is there a way to fix it besides replacing it because I really don't want to spend $150 or however much it costs.

Light filing to remove the grooves if they are not excessive. Nice video on YouTube mentioned that, was a video of someone rebuilding/replacing the clutch in a blaster, let me see if I can find it.

Damn, watching it myself, I just realized what I didn't do...darn, now I gotta tear the clutch apart again. I forgot to bend down the washer on the nut so it doesn't spin off. :-[

the cable is probably the main culprit.

I agree with everyone above, but i recommend an oem cable and a works connection lever if money permits

^^^Agree....quick test first though, take the cable off and trying working it off the clutch itself, see if it is binding.

Ok I'll take it off and see if it's binding at all, by wearing the main thing that would happen would be fraying, right?

they get dirt inside and make the casing and cable bind when a load is put on them, if it is free in strait line bend it, it should still work free or it's bad.
