I was out riding my LT250R and its was running good. Then it started acting up. When I put it in first gear and let off the clutch it dies. If I rev it up and let off the clutch it bogs down and then dies. I hope this is just the clutch since I have a new clutch kit for it already. I was wondering if this sounds like a clutch problem or something else? It idles and revs fine in neutral.
Thanks

 

With the rear end up in the air, do the rear wheels turn easily?

 

I can't check till Sun. night, but what does it mean either way.
Thanks

 

Ok....I found a minute to start her up. Back tires turn fine when on a lift. I can shif it into gear and the rear wheels spin fine. Ok..so what does that mean? Thanks

 

But if it's under stress/load it dies when you try to get it moving? If so, check the compression/gaskets/seals. You might have a leak, my 2-stroke Scrambler did that, would idle fine, rev up basically normal, but under stress it would bog out and die. I ended up having to replace the base gasket. I think someone wrote something about a cracked pistion doing that too. I wouldn't run it until you are able to check it out, incase it would cause more problems.

 

Ok...could this problem just be the clutch, or do I need to look deeper. Am I wasting my time just replacing the clutch or should I rip her down and replace the seals and gaskets. If it was a leak would it run fine and then just stop working like it did? Any help would be great!!!
