lemur Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Possibly the cable if there is no return spring operation, the cable operates a very simple cam mechanism that is not prone to failure but works a lot better with routine cleaning and lubrication. Nothing works as good as a new cable so that is a good start if the one on there now is old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TezzaT Posted March 10 Author Report Share Posted March 10 All sorted thanks was told to start bike hold clutch in and put in gear and keep dabbing back brake as its a wet clutch the plates can swell and stick 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemur Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Not many are dry clutch, when did you change the oil last? Clutch plates are rubberized cork which swells in the presence of gasoline or water, not so much in clean oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
