i have a 2000 yamaha blaster that was running fine jsut before i put it away for the winter. ive ran it several times since putting it away, but never actually riden it. When i tryed to ride it a few days ago the clutch cable was tight as hell and when i put it in gear it stalls out. im thinking i should lube my cable, and change to a lower viscocity oil since its pretty cold right now. any other suggestions. thanks for the help.

 

Yes lube ur cable, change the oil if that dont work then u might have some problems.. trust me ive been through some clutches (speed shifting) order a new gasket get some new allen wrench bolts for the clutch side case. and take it apart. U might need to get springs or also there is a push rod make sure thats not bent at all..there a bi*ch to get out but if u go this far take it out then go to a smooth table and let it roll you will be able to tell if its bent.. but my best advice go to ebay pay $18.99 for a workshop manual and go from there.. good luck

 

i replaced my clutch and the springs at the end of the season and it ran great probably 5 rides you think it could still be the clutch. thanks for the help

 

yea check ur basket for grooves if there is replace everything with hinson basket hub and everything expensive but its aight..
