clutch?????

[freestylekid33]

is my clutch slippin or is this normal. like after i get through riding my bike for a good while its real warmed up. i will put it up on its stand and put it in nutral pull in the clutch and shift in to first or second whatever and gas it and with the clutch pulled in it will still make the tire go faster after i gas it, is that normal a friend told me to do it and see if it still goes. how do i no if my clutch is slipin.(':eek:')

dat normal.
Ride in top gear at a slow speed, preferably on asphalt.
Pull in clutch.
Full throttle.
Let clutch out really fast with throttle still pinned.

If your engine doesn't slow down immediately, your clutch is slipping.

yeah, he means if you have a good clutch, and have a 250! and you pinn the gas and pop the clutch! well the pic should tell you wat will happen! except you wont control it like that! youll keep fallin back! lol and yeah my bike does it too! its cause there is no resistance on the back wheel! if your bike is on the ground, and you put it in first gear with the clutch pulled in, and there is no force pushing you forward. then id say you dont got to worry about a bad clutch! :)

good luck dude!

well...be happy you have a working clutch. My suzuki has a crappy clutch so you just get a running start put it in gear pop a wheelie and GO!

[freestylekid33]

lol haha at least u still get to ride though right. ':p'

Not at the moment...I broke my left thumb in 2 places

me and my friend are currently fixing his clutch right now...this is what happens, when he is in nuetral and clicks into first the bike will move, even though the clutch is all the way in, this is because the clutch basket has grooves worn into it from the clutch plates, so we have to sand all the grooves out... that will fix the problem

[ont.freerider]

yeah i think all suzuki clutches are bad! mine was, a couple other dudes on SLOWzuki's said there's was crap too,

my clutch basket had grooves too, just left em, i could have cared less. best thing to do is get somethign else besides suzuki.

[freestylekid33]

':cool:' Thats why i got a Yamaha ';)'

wouldn't a Hinson basket solve that problem too?

while ktm clutches are VERY nice to use and very durable...the hydrolics on the other hand....are not :(:(:(...i spent about $900 rebuilding my whole hydrolic clutch system koz i kept loosing preassure and getting air in my line :(...

oh it would solve the problem, so when are you gonna send me the $500 to buy one! lol

no worries, i just bought a brand new 2000 CR250 this sunday. the clutch is perfect.....obviously! lol so forget the slowzuki. it should be sold in a week or so! never will i buy a suzuki again, NEVER!!!!!!!

[Mr18125]

congrats on the CR.

Hope I have better luck w/ the RM250 I'm picking up Sat. ;)


hahha

[ont.freerider]

thanx bro! its a sweet bike!! good luck w/ the RM dude! i know after all the junk i went through on my RM, i would never buy one again, but i might have been very unlucky!

ITs NOT the manufacture, well partly... all i know is that yamahas clutch baskets suck... but it also depends on how the rider uses the clutch, if you abuse it, then yes it will wear faster, also if you use it alot, lots of riders dont use the clutch to their advantage and use it wrong thats why they wear...
