clutch issue

Post by jbowens2401 »

my friend has a 2008 kx250f and his clutch is having issues. when you put the bike in gear with the clutch pulled in, it will lerch forward and die. I have adjusted both clutch adjustments with no results. You can get it going by reving it high and poping the clutch, it will shift gears fine but when you pull in the clutch it wont stop. What could be causing this.

Thanks,

John

Sounds like the clutch basket is shot. Odd for a 2008.

Could be the plates are just stuck though. You could take them out, clean them, soak them in whatever oil he uses, then re-assemble. Certainly worth a shot.

No, easy cheesy. Pull the outer clutch cover, and the bolts holding the clutch springs. Take everything out. Keep track of the order that stuff comes out, you want it going back in the same way.
