My clutch on my sherco 125cc is either on or off and its becoming extremely difficult as I progress in trails as I do slip my clutches but am unable to slip clutch is there any Advice?
Clutches do wear out eventually especially if you 'slip' it regularly. First check the basics. These are usually the quickest, cheapest fixes.
Check it isn't something between the lever and gearbox 'sticking'. Sometime trail dirt can get into the levers and cables gumming everything up.
Do this with the engine OFF and the keys OUT.
If you can, remove the clutch cable from one end. Work the lever on the handle bar to see if it moves freely. Slide the cable backwards and forwards through it's sleeve to see if it slides easily. Next work the lever on the actual gearbox. This might be stiff but it should move smoothly and return to it rest position every time. If these all move freely the issue could be the clutch plates inside the gearbox.
Next pull the clutch in, start the bike, and put it into first gear. Only give it enough throttle to stop it stalling. Gently and slowly let the clutch out and feel to see if the bike rises evenly with the lever or grabs and lurches forward.
If it lurches and the levers and cables move freely you might need to replace the clutch components.
