    Dearest mechanic friends please help! Bike is a 1999 Honda CB250 and I love it to death. The clutch was shitty when I bought the bike (gear changes really clunky on the pedal and won't shift into neutral if the engine is running - really unhelpful when I'm stopped at a red light and realised I...

    Just purchased a Suzuki 04 Intruder Lv 1500. My heart wanted a FatBoy but my wallet insisted on a Suzuki . I love it but two weeks in my hydraulic clutch just stopped working . I could pull the lever completely open and closed with no resistance and no response . The dealership took it back and...

    So was cleaning up my oil filter & strainer for the first time today, replaced the gasket, crankcase cover and oil, and at the end of it all found that there was no tension in the clutch! After trying to change the freeplay on both the lower and upper adjustment points, I realised I may have...

    Hello all. I've had this 98 VZ800 for a while now. I noticed it was clutch slipping when i first got it i fixed the slipping issue by replacing the Friction plates with EBC ones and the clutch springs with EBC heavy duty ones. I thought my clutch problem days were over! But no. I started to...

    I have an issue with my 05 Suzuki GS 500f not starting without me clutch starting it. This issue started after I tightened the chain. For a few weeks before this, I'd had trouble starting but I could eventually get the bike to start just my turning the handle bars for a while and continuing to...

    I'm not sure how I would go about diagnosing this problem. When I ride for any length of time longer than 20 minutes, if I turn the bike off, then turn it back on, riding it feels like the clutch is half pulled sometimes. I can rev the throttle and get no additional power in all gears. When I...

    I've seen tons of these posts but none of them have a definitive answer so I'm going to post my problem here. I recently purchased a used 2007 YZF600R and the clutch lever had become quite a pain to pull, bad enough that it would be almost impossible to let it go slowly it was that hard. So I...

    I had gotten this bike in a trade and don't know much about it. It is a 94 RF900R. I was told it was bored to a 1020, rear is was stretched and just learned that it doesn't have the stock clutch basket on it. I am no guru with motorcycles at all and it sat for a bit. When I started messing...

    I have a 1981 CB900 Custom with 24,000 miles on it. The clutch has 6 normal steel gear plates (Clutch Plate A, Honda part 22321-425-000) and 1 unusual and at this point nearly impossible to find steel gear plate (Clutch Plate B, Honda part 22322-425-000). I have seen this referred to as the...

    Been working on getting my 1996 Suzuki intruder running. I'm getting it fired up and running great but it cuts off when I try to shift into first gear. Checked/bled fluid. What next?

    I bought my first bike a week ago (yay!). It's in pretty solid condition, but I do have some clutch-related issues with it. If the bike is in gear, and the clutch lever is all the way in, the bike still pulls forward slightly. This is regardless of if it was just started or if it has been ridden...

    So I received this bike as a gift from a friend. Just got it running decently, finally idles without the choke. When I received it, It had a broken clutch cable. What might cause a clutch cable to break besides age and wear on the cable? I took the cable housing off and threaded a piece of cable...

    Hey all, Got another one for ya. So after replacing the clutch on my intruder 700 there is no slipping whatsoever, but when i pull the clutch all the way in the bike still wants to inch forward. I can hold it back with my feet but its still an issue. The second I let any pressure off the clutch...

    I recently installed some clutch parts into my bike. I pulled off the old clutch cover and cable rod from the piston. I took all the old steels and fibers out, cleaned off the steels and replaced the fibers. First gear fiber was shot and burnt up, steels looked good just sanded them down and...

    Hi guys. I'm currently in the process of dropping my KTM520exc motor into an off-road buggy. It's an 01 model engine with a hydraulic clutch setup. First question, Am I able to mount the factory KTM master cylinder verticle on the gear shifter I have fabricated without the piston drawing air...

    I'm about to take my shotgun to my bike! JK. Maybe. I am SO frustrated. So I decided to put these super huge "Longhorn" handlebars on my bike, that I picked up at a local shop that mainly deals in Harley parts. the bars are 1" diameter and I have them mounted on 4" high Harley risers. (on my...

    Hey, This is my first post here. I just bought a 1988 Suzuki 750 Intruder and, after riding it for about a week, I noticed I had to keep pulling the clutch further and further back for it to disengage until, eventually, it stopped disengaging completely. After reading some posts, I bled the...
