Well, I just took the clutch cover off and tried some things I had found on the internet. Here was my process,
First to break the clutch loose I tried taking some advice I found on a website. It involved getting the bike up to 20 mph, and then locking the rear wheel up with the clutch lever pulled in. That's it. Although this didn't seem to work it seems like a great idea to try out first. Second I took the cover off and then disconnected the springs. I then took a screw driver and pried each of the clutch plates from each other. This works for sure. After doing all of this I noticed the rear wheel was still spinning and concluded that the oil causes the plates to barely stick to each other and give enough grip to spin the tire. This can be stopped with as little force as hand pressure on the wheel. The hardness of getting into neutral is a little better but still can be a pain. To Stanley: No it doesn't slip, it actually was not disengaging. On Apr 5, 8:57 pm, Dennis Hammerl <[email protected]> wrote: > The wheel spin in gear with the clutch pulled is the clutch dragging.
