Hi guys,
I am in the middle of my teardown inspection and would love to post pictures but even with signing up with servimg.com I am still unable.....HELP
I pulled the transmission to check and lube the splines (Honda moly, Stabaurags doesn't seem to be available here) everything looked great. I was told the bike had sat for 2 years and no maintenance in the 2 years prior but every thing was almost like new!
Upon re-assembly I wanted to check the clutch throw and as I am still waiting for my replacement clutch cable I just manually pushed the transmission clutch lever in.
I was expecting the rod to push in and then the clutch fingers to push back. First attempt was as expected but when I pushed harder the second time the rod pushed through and stuck.
I released the lever, undid the boot and manually pulled back on the rod. It came out with a POP! Naturally I tried this 2 or 3 times more (like you do ) with the same result.
It would seem that the clutch fingers (or spring plate) was pushing beyond it's center point or perhaps the rod was jamming. I can't assertain exactly what is happening.
Has any one experienced this before?
If it's doable is it OK?
Any help would be so welcome.
Cheers,
Rob
