SOURCE: '95 Yamaha YZ 125 clutch - stays in gear when clutch is pulled in

hey dude,, just thought id come in and give u some tips or 3,, i take it when u pull clutch lever in, and try and change gear it feels like your foot will snap b4 it goes in gear,, if that makes sense,, firstly mate,is to make sure the clutch cable slides freely ,easest way is to take cable off and just grab 1 end and make sure it isnt sticky,, if so dip one end of the cable in a bit of old oil ,,whilst holdin the other end ,pull and push the cable inner, this will **** up a bit of lubricant inside the cable ,, keep doin this each end till free to move, ,,next step if the cables ok,,, and may need help if u dont no,drain the oil out,,and as u r sat on the bike is to remove the clutch casing on the right hand side of the moter,where the bottom end of the cable goes,remove the casing being carefull not damage the gasket,,then u will see clutch plates and friction plates housed,, undo the 7 or 8 spring loaded bolts carefully take the first fibre plate out then metal friction plate then another fibre plate and so on,, wen u take the 1st plate out place that on the bench ,stacking each plate on top of one another, cause they have to go back in as they came out,,wen out,,u need a piece of wet n dry paper ,or fine emery,,and just wipe round both sides of the fibre plates taking the shine off them,as u put them back in,, put casing back on with a decent gasket,, oil back in cable on, make sure cable has no free play on the lever so wen u r about to pull lever in it bite straight away,, start her up, warm it up and try it,,any probs still il eat my shoe,, take care m8

SOURCE: clutch pulling

Your clutch is not fully disengaging.Adjust the cable at the lever until you have plenty of free play.Then adjust the cable at the motor until you have full engagement then readjust lever to 3/8 in play.Fine tune at the motor.It may take a few trys but you can get it.

SOURCE: i got a 1995 rm 250 that the gears are stuck.

Sorry to have to say this, you have a bent shift fork. The repair means taking the engine out of the frame then removing the top end, removing the flywheel and electrics, removing the clutch , shift mechanism and kick starter and a few other parts. THEN you are ready to split the gearbox to remove the crankshaft and then the bent shift fork. Next you get to put it all back together. This is a pretty big job for the home mechanic.

You will need an impact driver, flywheel puller, case splitter and torque wrench plus the normal screwdriver, pliers, etc.. Alternate to the special tools is taking it to the dealer and say "Fix it".
I normally tell people to take it to the shop just so they don't get into such an involved project.

Please rate this solution. Thanks

the plates will stick to each other because of oil
check the clutch lever at the motor and make sure it is moving the arm that pushes the pressure plate and make sure it is moving

2002 yz 125 when I put it in gear it will shut off acts like the clutch is not working when I adjust it on the handle bars it slips

Mechanical issue: clutch not disengaging completely...
engine off - put in gear and roll back and forth with clutch released does engine stop the bike from rolling? Now pull clutch lever in and try rolling again is clutch cable adjusted properly?
Electrical issue: bike thinks clutch is still engaged and kills motor when not in neutral
Is the clutch switch properly connected and working? Is it adjusted properly? Use a multimeter to read resistance across switch contacts does it change state when clutch is pulled in?

Bike jumps when on release of clutch in first gear and stalls

The clutch plates are probably rusted. I ride the bike with the clutch lever pulled in until very warmed up and keep blipping the throttle at low speeds in first gear this sometimes releases the stuck clutch.

Do i need to be in gear to adjust clutch

In the past when I adjusted the clutch on my Virago, I would have the bike in gear...with engine off, make sure pulling in the clutch allows the bike to roll..... Then with the engine running I would adjust for the point at which the clutch would begin to engage upon release. Make sure when released, the clutch is fully engaged and isn't slipping.

Hi, I have recently bought my Mrs a cbr 125r. The bike only starts in neutral. When in gear and the clutch is pulled in, the bike wont start. I disconnected the connectors to the clutch lever switch and...

The reason why the bike wouldn't start while in gear and the clutch depressed is so it wouldn't start and jump ahead if the clutch was released. This is usually called popping the clutch without in gear without throttle.........Hope this helps.

The bike starts only when place in nutural, and sometimes in gear when the clutch is pulled in. Many times it starts I pull the clutch in to put in 1 or 2 it does not matter it dies when I place it in...

The clutch is not releasing sufficiently, it seems.

Alternately, some bikes will not run in gear if the kick stand is down. If the switch for that is not pushed sufficiently when the stand is up, you can have this problem.

1997 Yamaha YZF 1000 clutch and/or transmission problem?

well this is something that is as you said " not normal" i would guess that clutch is smoked. after it warms up do a 3rd gear roll on at about 45 mph. if you drop the hammer and the motor revs and you don't go anywhere stop the ride and R&R your clutch
something else to make sure of is that you clutch fuild is good and has no air in the line
Good luck

2003 dyna wide glide, after engaging clutch, upon release nothing happens

Are you saying that with the engine running, you pull in the clutch lever, put the transmission in gear, release the clutch lever, Nothing happens?

If so, Look and see if your final drive belt is still on the bike. When the belt breaks, they just run out onto the road and you have nothing to drive the rear wheel with. It'll do it and you won't notice it except that the bike will no longer move under it's own power.

Now, if the belt is still on the bike, it could be the front final drive belt pulley has gone bad. The pulley is made of cast iron and is much softer metal than the final drive gear of the transmission. As a result, the pulley wears rather than the gear. If the gear wore, the time and cost of repair would be much greater than replacement of the pulley. The splines unside the pulley where it goes on the final drive gear may have worn and stripped out.

These are the two most likely problems. Check these out and if you don't find your problem, repost on this forum with what you have learned. Good Luck!
