try craigslist or call your local motorcycle salvage yard good luck

Same thing I had happen. Your friction disks and plates are normally joined via spring pressure and unjoined when you pull the lever. In my case, the bike had set for so long, the plates had become chemically bonded together and stayed locked tight clutch in or out no difference. What I did was remove the clutch access cover and physically separated each plate one by one and reinstalled. After that, it worked great.

Here is a generic diagram of a clutch, should explain it.

Insert a screw driver to the carb's adjuster screw. Turning clockwise will increase the flow and turning counter clockwise will reduce the flow.

mineral motorcycle oil SAE10W40 should do. Cheers

look up your particular model and year.

1-2.5 inches of deflection.

It is not necessary to change the oil after every ride. Unless you are talking over 1000 miles each ride. A little water in the oil will not hurt. Especially if you are going to rebuild the engine this winter. And you can use any gear oil that is 80w or higher. Walmart sells some in a blue bottle. I am sure that you have a blown head gasket. You can try some radiator stop leak in the radiator also. This may seal the head gasket temporarily.

ebay or bikebandit

go with your own u will never wrong

turn off the key, hold the choke button and keep on kicking the crank handle for a few times but dont turn on the accellarator, After that turn on the key and release the choke button and slowly turn on the accellarator after every kick

What model - year - etc>??

Selecter forks could be damaged, gear shift shaft bent, return spring faulty, clutch dragging maybe! Try rocking it backwards and forwards engine off and see if you can find that gear! Good Luck - The Yeti

Here is a diagram of your transmission.

65PSI is way to low. It probably won’t run at 88PSI either. Put a small drop of engine oil (20w50 or similar) into the cylinder and do the compression test again. If there is a big improvement in compression it means the piston rings are worn and you will have to do a top-end overhaul. As a very rough guide you need 150PSI for a 4 stroke engine and about 120PSI for a 2 stroke engine.

low speed carb settings need ajusment also look at choke-cleanin may be in order

If you can remove the old one,just bring it to any bike shop and they should have it.There are probably at most 4 different kinds over the last 20 years.Also,one brand isn't any better than the other.There may be slight differences,but they are not worth $2-3 apiece,I don't care what the parts guy says.It's his job to make money.It's my job to give quality advice based on facts and research,whether I get paid or not.Gold or titanium tips or whatever they are trying to sell these days makes no difference.A good metal to metal electrical contact is what matters.Gold is actually one of the softest metals too and I sure don't use them.They are much more likely to scratch just from putting on and taking off the plug wire. Good luck and ride on!Greg

Sounds like a head gasket leak or cracked head

You need immediate repair. It can be caused by blown gasket or cracked coolant line

im presuming its a two stroke it sounds like the two stroke oil pump-which is starving the engine of oil-change the pump before u destroy the engine-this is not a maybee,your engine will need a total rebuild if u carry on riding with this problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry guys but its probably not!!! left hand theads the clutch nut is peened down on the threads dont beleive me look you eill see little lines or punch marks on the nut their is a special tool you can buy or you can make one like i did to hold the clutch hub still.You were on the right track with the impact wrench if that dont work you dont have a big enough air supply for the wrench good old elbow grease should get it i did it by hand after i had the tool. PS- you must punch the nut in a few places once reinstalled. I learned the hard way by breaking it first
