I greased the clutch lever and every thing?? if any one can help thanks???thumbsup2

no a smart idea....now your gonna have a harder time fixing what you cuased
you should have just adjusted the cable at the handlebar and the middle of the cable where there are some more adjusters for the cable

i cant cuz i got the cabel made a lil bit to big! i have the one in the middel of the cabel adjusted and the one the handel got the threads messed!!! i need to find one of those adjusters for the handel?? some times my clutch works fine and some times dosent!!!

[ninja x1]

Well i think the problem might be internal!!angry_red I might have to buy a new clutch or something?? any help,

no i have the same time. I think its just over time the spring wears out. I was looking into it and Im pretty sure its the spring or the cable has been stretched too far

[ninja x1]

i hope it not internal cuz my x18 will be taken a long break!!

[newb503]

no its not its just over time it stretches out

[ninja x1]

I don't think its my cabel, i put it in 1st and i went down to where that lil lever is at on the motor, i got the lever pushed it up all the way and i put the lil screw in all the way and it still was hard to push!! and when i let it go back down it still moved when its not!! My clutch isn't disengaging??? angry_red Can any one help me find out the problem, is it my clutch, or some thing else, Where can i find a replace ment clutch at, or should i just upgrade to a better one, ??

[newb503]

my clutch cabel is fine!! its my clutch in the motor

[newb503]

Im having the same problem you are and it is because over time I found the clutch cable stretches and makes it where it doesn't engage all the way. You can test this by taking the cable off the handle and testing it by pulling it.

It should go all the way down when you let it go and when you pull it, it should move back up.

Its not the cabel, i took off the cabel and moved the lever by the motor with my hand, i pushed it all the way up and my clutch still dosen't disengage!!

dude idk how your rideing it and shifting or how your freind is when hes riding but idk how u already messed up the clutch

[ninja x1]

i know that! now where can i find one????

[newb503]

ebay or holeshotz

[ninja x1]

I i think that my clutch might be fine!! i just need to adjust the cabel but i need to get a handel bar cabel adjuster, i need one of those! not shure cuz i was trying to fix it right now and it stalls and turns off when i stop????

[newb503]

yea if your cable adjuster on your stock handle is all the way out then your cable has just stretched too far over time (like mine) and chances are you just need a new cable

[ninja x1]

i just get that adjuster and if its still not right then i will get the cabel cut shorter!thumbsup2

[X7rocks]

well u said u messed with the screw behind the little cover i think u kinda cuased it

[ninja x1]

yup! i took it off cuz like every three rides i had to adjust it agin!! so i took it completly off to put a bolt on it and i messed it compleatly??? it kinda better it just stalls alot!! if i put it in to much it dosen't stall!! but the clutch lever on the motor dosen't go all the way down, and it relly hard to shift??? and if i put it out to much it stalls but its esay to shift!!??? any help???
