Mine was broken and it felt like the lever was a little bit loose all the time. It's just a little spring near the end of the clutch cable ( down low, not at the handlebar lever).   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #518902 cumminsman (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 528 Re:Another clutch question... 10 Months, 1 Week ago   Tug wrote: cumminsman wrote: Tug,I never knew about this,are you going.Duh,I suspect you are.

I found the throwout bearing was worn out, as I pulled the case cover off, little ball bearings fell out in my lap. So, hopefully, by next weekend, I'll be riding again! Is it normal everywhere, that nobody carries parts anymore? I had to wait a week to get a Clutch cable, then another week for a gasket, now a week for the bearing...that's nuts! At least once the bearing gets here, all I have to do is install it and change the oil again...at least that is on the shelf!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #526069 texasscott1 (User) Two of a kind Platinum Boarder Posts: 2494 Re:Another clutch question... 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   The best bearing to replace it with is a 7003C series bearing. It has an angled race and is better able to take a lateral load than the 6003 series Yamaha uses. Still that's mighty low miles for a clutch bearing to fail. Maybe not enough freeplay in the lever?   Logged     My 99 Standard Test Mule Scott B.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #526093 Rayjay (User) Now we see through a glass darkly... Platinum Boarder Posts: 1386 Re:Another clutch question... 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I agree with Scott. Sounds like the adjustment was too tight....maybe before you bought her. You should be able to put a nickle snugly in the clutch lever by the cable when you pull it after adjustment.

Put it in the freezer, got it good and cold, then sat in in the sun until it was too hot to handle...two good whacks with the punch and it was free! Assembled everything and took a nice evening ride with my wife. Beautiful! Very smooth and clean shifting.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
