Just curious, I know that 80 weight oil is commonly used for the transmissions on these two strokes, such as Bel-Ray, Motul 80w etc. However I have wondered for some time why ATF fluid would not be just as good if not better? I can just assume that possibly the clutch simply wouldn't works as well? Curious of your thoughts on this.
I appreciate the insight a lot My quad has those Chinese 200cc engines, and it won't shift into first while I'm in idle unless it's already rolling or if I give it a ton of throttle, I don't know why the clutch won't disengage the engine, it's brand new!
Hello I have another question. when clutch disengage but engine works 1 year, plates worn out or gap and oil enough to protect plates? ı want to use clutch opposive purpose. when engine works it always disengage but when I want engage. do you have some experience about it. I hope I explain enough. thanks
Hi mate , my 2 pressure plates has shattered it’s a mess, only a 6 hour bike did it at a beach race a week ago. Any way. The plates has shattered every where all in the bottom of engine I have cleaned it out extremely well, there’s a little hole that I can see into the transmission with a light and I see the shattered plates on there also ? What would you do ? Also brill video thanks man
I wrecked my yfz snapped the frame and bent my bars I bent them back as best as I could drive it for a while an it felt like the clutch was slipping so I took out the basket Ann plates the basket was worn down real bad so I replaced it an the plates and it was still slipping and then it clicked that the bars was bent on the clutch side and it probably just needed a cable and bars I spent about 700 on parts just for it to be the bars bent
My rm250 clutch doesn’t disengage at all. My basket doesn’t have groves, the clutches plate is fine and Iv adjusted my clutch in both adjustment area idk what else to do
You could try freeing the clutch plates by moving the bike in neutral and then going into gear as the bike is moving. Then change up and down to free plates.
You're friction plates might have glazing on them take each one out and take a piece of Scotch-Brite and hit both sides with it put it back together and see if that fixes the problem
Thank you for the video. My small Yamaha R3 was tipped over to the transmission side during transportation and it has been staying in that position for a week or two. Now the clutch wont disenage. Even I changed the oil, warmed it up. Do yo have any suggestions on where to check for the problem? I appreciate your help. I plan to pull the clutch box apart and take a look. Already ordered new coolant since it was intergrated with the transmission.
@@Dutters.dirtbikes it shifts up and down just fine. It would kill the engine on first gear. After warming up, it’s better. It seems the clutch is slipping. I’ll keep you posted. Thank you for the advice.
Great ! Understand how it works a lot better now! I have a question.. if pulling the clutch in while all clutch is together theres absolute nothing happening and clutch is super soft? This is a hydraulic clutch, i took it apart and seen my pressure plate has cracked? Would this be the reason why theres no pressure in clutch? Thank you mate awesome video
When I let the clutch out (dirt bike) there is a now a moment (often) where its not engaged, then after a second it will seem to lock up and engage finally. The clutch has many hours, but I'm asking if this very specific action is pretty common when the clutch is going out, or would it likely be something else?
@@Dylan.99 I don't remember exactly, now, I adjusted the clutch as far out as I could so that it would lock up better, but shift harder. I bought a new bike right about that time, within a couple weeks, and stopped riding it, I only start it up and cruze around the yard to keep the carb and seals from gumming and drying out now. I hope you get yours sorted out. When you say 'bog' out, are you referring to clutch/trans or carb? If you feel like it's not getting into gear correctly, if you haven't already tried, adjust that clutch cable in and out and see what happens, make the first adjust at the engine and finish off the fine tuning at the clutch lever ferrel.
@@Dylan.99 Right, mine was so far eaten up, hundreds of hours, I think there was very little left. I stripped out one 'LAME' as hell phillips, lol not allen, or standard, and wound up abandoning putting my new plates on. New bike showed up meanwhile.. hope you get it sorted out, post back with results. Take care....
Straight to the point info just what I needed ....thanx
Awesome video man, I’m about to mess with my 87 xc250 husqvarna clutch wish me luck!

Same issue with my AG200 and it slips when accelerating in 5th gear.
Have you fixed yours yet?

Excellent explanation! Going to check for these now...
What does it mean when your center clutch hub doesn’t spin freely by hand.

U probobarly need to split the cases
Hell yeah dude you explain it super well
What was the symptom? Hard shifting or not shifting at all?
I wrecked my yfz snapped the frame and bent my bars I bent them back as best as I could drive it for a while an it felt like the clutch was slipping so I took out the basket Ann plates the basket was worn down real bad so I replaced it an the plates and it was still slipping and then it clicked that the bars was bent on the clutch side and it probably just needed a cable and bars I spent about 700 on parts just for it to be the bars bent
The issue for me is the plate doesnt even push out... how do i fix this??
The grooves in the clutch basket can be filed down if you know how. So you have a cheaper option than buying a new one.
I was thinking the same thing
Yeah I used a dremel on my rm250 and it was good as new hopefully I can do the same on my 450r…
i have a yamaha 125 from 1992 and the clutch has the same problem. thanx!

My 2000 rm250 has the same problem. I’m stuck too.

Maybe cable is stretched to hell? Just a guess
Did u figure it out

Nothing I can think of just what I showed in the video as a general inspection
@@Dutters.dirtbikes it shifts up and down just fine.

Did you fixed it i have the same issue
@@AdrenalineRush28not yet. No time. 😢

Yes it can because that pressure plate is the spring that grabs the clutch
@@Dutters.dirtbikes ahh i see thank you for the knowledge pal appreciate it! 🤙🏻😇
My engine oil is metal gray I was told bc the clutch plates is that true
Awesome video and was able to fix my bike because if it thanks
Thank you so much,, Great info
Very helpful thank you
Thank you master
