Island_Style_trials Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Hello, I have a '91 Yamaha TY250R "pinky" that I purchased a few years back, it was the bike i learned to ride on when I was 13 and was sold to someone else and I scored it when it came up for sale on kijiji. The bike has suddenly developed an issue, when I put it into gear from nuetral into first gear with the clutch fully engaged the bike lunges forward and immediatly stalls. The bike is idling normally and the last time I rode it, was nearly a year and a half ago I recall this being an issue but I dont recall the clutch being worn out. Does anyone has any ideas of what may be causing this? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsome_al Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Usually it's old oil gone thick and the plates are stuck together. Quite often you can stick it in 4th or 5th gear and rock to and fro to try and "free" the plates then start it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faussy Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Failing what handsome al suggests, get the bike into gear by pushing off in neutral, then ride around with the clutch in, if its stuck plates it should free in a short while 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbofurball Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 My little 175 has the same feature if I don't ride it at least once a week, riding with the clutch lever in for a minute always works like a charm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island_Style_trials Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Thanks for the feedback everyone. The stuck clutch packs was the issue, I was able to free them up by rocking the bike back and forth throughout the gears with the clutch in. I would have ridden it around but my backyard is about 30 sq feet and the roads are still covered in ice and snow here! Thanks again! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
