Sticking clutch was created by jtb605a
Hi , hope everyone is doing well. Just wondering if anyone knows any tricks short of tearing it down. Just sticks after sitting a day or so if you put it in gear and ride it a minute then pull the clutch in and drag the brakes while hitting the throttle a couple times it will break free. Sometimes takes a couple of tries but then does great all day. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks

Pull the lever back to the 'bars and tie it in place with bale twine or such like until you need to ride it again.
Are you riding it regularly, doing many miles on it?

Tie them off like Al suggested. I have several bikes that do the same thing if they sit for a while. I have since cut strips of double sided Velcro and tie them all back when I am done riding. The strips are easily wrapped around a portion of the handle bars for storage during a ride, and they get rewrapped around the clutch lever until the next ride. Problem solved!

Don't ride much but it will usually stick overnight. I like your idea. Thanks

I put my bike in 2nd gear, pull in the clutch, then rock it back and forth until they break free. Mine also stick once it sits overnight.

I wonder what actually “sticks”…..
Is it due to grooves worn into the basket tabs?
Or is actually “stiction” between the plate faces?
Maybe adhesion is a better word. lol
