jem1 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Hi can any one help I wanted to. Check that the clutch cable was not stiff so I depressed the clutch lever and held the clutch arm on the engine in that position the cable was fine so reconnected the cable but it seems that the clutch plates have stuck together!!! I have tried everything I can think of to unstick them short of removing the cover to get at the mechanism (taping the casing /lever. Putting it in gear and rocking it back and forward etc). Any ideas would be welcome. Edited August 31, 2020 by jem1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husoi Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 You know that a picture speaks 1000 words?have you tried starting the bike on centre stand and action the clutch?sounds like the springs have failed, if that's the case a new plate is in order.

Fozzie Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Is the bikes rear wheel just spinning slightly during idle on centre stand? Or is it spinning like it's in 1st/2nd gear? The first of those is normal, it's just a bit of clutch drag but can be disconcerting to a new rider to see it happen when their bike is in neutral.If you put your foot against the tyre to stop it with no noticeable change in revs it is anyway. What happens when you put the bike in gear with the clutch pulled and you sat on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem1 Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 Hi nothing happens when changing from neutral to 1st or second the clutch is stuck in. As I am or was going up to Scotland later this week I have had to send it to a motorbike repair shop. I'll post the results when I get it back thanks for all your replys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
