ok i have a question ,ok is there a coil spring for the clutch down by the case were it goes in case on a 1986 suzuki lt250r i dont want to take cover off if i dont have to in need of help please some one has to know what happened here ,i have no pull on clutch and that shaft just pulls righ up ?????? is there a sping or somthing
??????

 

booooo,


If you have " no pull " on the clutch shaft you mean you can turn the shaft more 1/4 turn, and you could pull the shaft out a little bit.

Two things,

one ---- inside there is a short Horizontal shaft called " Rack Clutch Release "this meets the Verticle shaft Called " Pinion Clutch Release " which come out of your crank Case, if the Pinion Shaft is pulled too high, it's possible that the Rack Shaft turned so now the groves dont make contact with the pinion Shaft groves any more.


two ---- it's possible the the groves on either shaft's are strip.

You Still have too take the cover off, Just Drain Your Oil, and Your Coolant " remember to Loosen Rad cap when Drainning Coolant", you do not have to remove water pump cover , only the two Right hand side screws of the water pump cover, and all the short screws around the clutch cover, nothing will come flying out it's just a cover,

you could also check at this web site http://216.37.204.206/ecatv/suzuki_o...ype=13&a=2&b=8


you will see what I mean Rack Clutch shaft has groves only on one side, which it meets the bottom of the Pinion Shaft groves
Rack Clutch Release is # 17
Pinion Clucth Release is # 18


Good Luck , I Hope this will help you,

thanks so much ,so there isnt a spring that goes on top conected to that lever which cable is conected too? thanks

 

no there is no spring but are you saying you have no pull what so ever from your clutch?maybe your clutch is out or there could also be something wrong w/the shaft...lean it up on its side so you dont loose any oil and take the side cover off and see what is wrong w/it that is the best thing to do...i have a 91 LT250R and mine did this once and i had to replace the whole clutch but it was only like $60 soo... not to bad..

 

i raced pymatuning all a sudden i didnt have a clutch nothing ,before that it pulled real easy and didnt slip at all,but i cant get the cover off now i took all bolts out like you said and it seems to be catchen on somthing it pulls out a little and thats it any suggestions will help out so much thanks steve

 

Did you disconnect the clutch cable from the arm going into the case? That arm has to spin as the cover comes off unless the teeth are stripped on it.

I’m still not quite sure exactly what the problem is so I may be rambling here. You said that the shaft just pulls right up. From that it sounds to me like it is pulling up out of the case. If this is so, I believe there is a clip inside the case that holds that shaft in. It may have broke or came of letting the shaft go up instead of pulling the rack and engaging the clutch.

 

yes it is pulling right up and out my im is snipenyou aol if ya wanna chat on that

 

I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEND TO MY 86 THERE GROOVES WERE ALRIGHT. THERES a LITTLE O-RING THAT GOES ON THE TOP OF THE SHAFT (WHERE THE CLUTCH CABLE CONNECTS) I PUT A NEW ONE IN ITS BEEN WORKING EVER SINCE. HOPE THAT HELPS
