stuck clutch

Post by 3dhunt »

what causes a clutch to stick when you put it in gear for the first time of the day? I run thin oil and always let things warm up, but i have to ride a ways with the clutch in before it breaks loose. Fine from then on. What is the fix for this problem? thanks 3d

All the Triumph motorcycles I have ever owned had this same problem. I would just pull the clutch in and kick the bike in the off position until it broke free. Dry plates is what causes it.

If you take the plates out... check the tolerence, soak in oil overnight and put them back in it may help....
