I was up at st anthonys.. before i left i had belived that my clutch was soon to go.. well the last day we were up there our last trip out i belive it did i went up choke cherry and as i was heading down i heard this click then it like stopped i rolled to the bottom and pulled in the clutch at the bottom and i tried to start it.. all it did was twist the startor didnt sound like it was roling over.. is this the clutch like i think or do i have a bigger mess on my hands/? its the stock clutch and springs im hoping to get a heavy duty aftermarket one.. so we will see what do you guys think??

 

one way bearing?

 

And we have a winner!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Sounds like the One-way to me as well........ Not expensive, just sad that yamaha can't fix a known problem....... I'd go ahead and replace the clutch too if you think its going.

 

so wheres the one way bearing//? and how much is that/? and is the clutch easy to repair?? would the clutch going out have anything to do with the one way bearing/?

 

Yep, while its tore down you might as well pull both sides off and take care of them at the same time.

 

Im getting good! If I can tear down my bro's LT250R and put it back together and have it start at the first kick, Im gonna buy something for myself south of the border [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

what do i have to do to get to them.?

 

would having the clutch be going out and the one way bearing obviously going out and now gone.. would those have anything to do with the performance ive been lacking/?

 

the clutch would affect performance since the engine is spinning and not moving your transmission. the one way bearing is not related to your poor performing "built" raptor. I would seriously check out the engine and make sure the work was done.

 

like i said the only reason it belive its been performing sucky is because of the clutch.. but what exactly is the one way bearing/?
