#44377 BowAholic (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 Clutch disengage question 4 Years, 7 Months ago   I have noticed that if I just hold the clutch in to start my bike it moves forward just a bit at first like it isn't disengaged...? I have also tried to roll it forward with just the clutch pulled in while it's still in gear and not running...it doesn't roll...??? I've never had a bike do this and just want to know what's normal. thanks.

The plates get a little dry when it's setting and get stuck just a bit. It's normal.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #44384 BowAholic (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 Re:Clutch disengage question 4 Years, 7 Months ago   thanks...may have something to do with me buying an '04 (2 weeks ago)with only 150 miles on it...I think everything needs to be used a bunch after being neglected for so long... Thanks again.

I've had mine for many miles and it still does the same thing. I can't push it when gear with the clutch pulled after sitting overnight.

Wont roll in gear with the clutch in not running. Also lurches forward a hair when you start it in gear with the clutch lever in. I just attribute it to the wet clutch as someone already mentioned. You'll notice after a quick ride that when you get back on it works fine then. Oil needs warmed up I guess. Hope this helps.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #44404 BowAholic (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 Re:Clutch disengage question 4 Years, 7 Months ago   cool...I'm glad it's not just me... I never had the issue with the intruder...maybe because of the hydraulic clutch? thanks again.

Moderator Posts: 12505 Re:Clutch disengage question 4 Years, 7 Months ago   Yes they all do it mine will do it after 13000 miles. I always leave mine in neutral anyway so it no big deal but if I stall it while riding it doesn't do it. Just the nature of the beast.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #44441 Envinyatar (User) It's not "what" you ride, it's "that" you ride. Junior Boarder Posts: 156 Re:Clutch disengage question 4 Years, 7 Months ago   My '05 does the same thing. I used to start it in neutral, warm it up and then put it in first to go, but for the last few months the clutch sticks so hard that she will conk out after putting the tranny into gear. The transmission sounds like I am slamming it into gear when I try it. What I have to do now is warm her up in neutral, then before I go, cut the engine, put her into gear and restart. This seems easier on the tranny. For the first year she only did this after having sat for a long time (a few weeks).   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #44444 BowAholic (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 Re:Clutch disengage question 4 Years, 7 Months ago   thanks for the info...mine never sits more than a day or 2...all year long. I ride to work most days at about 25 miles round trip...46K on the last bike in 3 years... It sure saves wear and tear on the truck. LOL. Maybe when I change oil I'll try synthetic and see if it helps.

I'm running synthetic. It's just some the Roadies do.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
