The cable made a big difference.chadr wrote:You've got me eager to try out the new cable I've had sitting in my parts box for a couple months. If the drag disappears that would be cool, but I am so used to it now that getting it in neutral isn't so bad.
Had the same problem with mine before I rebuilt the engine. It was dragging that bad the engine would stall if I stopped the bike in gear. I filed the grooves off the basket and its loads better.chadr wrote:My very little experience in this area... It was damn near impossible to get the bike in neutral after coming to a complete stop. While rolling, not a problem. Removed clutch basket and filed down the ridges. It took a lot of filing and I am certainly well past the recommended clearance. I didn't touch the inner groves that grip the clutch plates, just the fingers on the basket. I can now get into neutral without much hassle when stopped.jad628 wrote:Okay, I've seen enough threads to know that KDXes will likely have some clutch drag (mine does), but I simply cannot get mine in neutral when in gear AFTER coming to a complete stop. While rolling....no problem. Is that normal?
I don't see how clutch cable adjustment comes into play unless it it is not applying the needed presssure to let the clutch disengage.
