Hey everyone, I'm just about finished restoring my Lt, and I fired it up today. I shut it off and checked the clutch. I put it in first held the clutch and kicked it, and the bike moves. I never took the clutch apart during the restoration. Does any one know whats wrong and how to fix it. I positive its sticking because when I tried to shift into 1st when it was running, the bike jumped and then stalled. It worked fine before I restored it to. Any help would be apritiated.

There should be an adjustment on the clutch cable, see if you can adjust it to not jump while shifting at idle.

 

I took off the cable and rigged up a wrench on the clutch and pulled it as far as it goes, it still slips though. I think maybe the plates are sticking? I'm not really sure.

 

I think you are right. Pull the cover off and see whats going on. What kind of oil are you using for the transmission?

 

I just drained the oil and put new tranny oil in. It's Bel-Ray Gear Saver 80w. The manual says 20w-40, but the guy at my dealer said this would work perfectly.

 

Well, like I said, pull that cover off and see what going on. A clutch kit for that from Rocky Mountain is under $50 probably. I put the Tusk clutch kit in my 85 ATC and it's holding up nicely.
