clutch

the clutch lever pulls back touching the grip, is this how it works ? or is it more like brake levers which never touch grip ?

What could be happening? The clutch fluid needs filled about 2 times a week. There's never any fluid on the floor under the bike. Its driving me nuts . Any ideas? Its a 1993 30000 miles.

Hey guys. Getting my bike out after keeping it warm all winter. Tried starting it couple weeks ago, gas was spewing out the exhaust and also leaking from the carbs, it was a mess. It was turning over, tried to start it til battery died then did research, float stuck maybe, etc... I knocked on...

Anyone familiar with newer cable clutch microswitches on newer bikes? Like this? Been told there is a Yamaha version. How does it work? Is there something on the lever to push on the switch internally? Anyone have one of these set ups?

When I pop my max in first gear from neutral it shuts off. Do I need to adjust the clutch? If so how do I do it. Thank you Eddie

What brand clutch are you guys using? Mines not gone yet but I'm sure there isn't to much life left. What's your opinion on how many hours labor a shop would charge to do one.

When I first got my bike I noticed that the clutch lever was a bit loose but was working so didn't think anything of it. Now on my way home on Friday I found that when I pull the lever it is not engaging the clutch at all but I was still able to move up and down the gears. When I came to a stop...

I think I need a new clutch. Either it is slipping or the back tire is losing traction. Any advice? The bike I just purchased has the UFO exhaust and stage 7 carb kit. I suspect the previous owner(s) might have enjoyed the increased power so much the stock clutch could not handle it. Does...

Has anyone rebuilt the Clutch Slave? It seems pretty straight forward, but thought I'd asked for some expert advice from someone that has done it. Thanks, Bill

Greetings fellow Maxxers. I decided to start a new thread on this age old problem. I have a 2000 vmax that for the past month has vexed me starting with the carbs acting up and having issues starting and idle. I did the peashooter and cleaned the hell out of it and it did start and...

This has been discussed a bit on other threads but like I'd said earlier, I would post details as to what I found when I got home and got everything fixed. So, A bit of history Several years ago, I bought these levers.....and didnt have any issue from them...

Clutch master cylinder is leaking. Bike is sitting for winter and the leak has ruined the clear coat on the left scoop, pretty disappointing. I suppose I could try and replace just the master cylinder, but it appears that the bike has tipped over at some point in it's life and the clutch lever...

Is there a way to remove the clutch boss but without the special tool while engine is out of the bike. Max

Hi everyone, quite new here,also fresh owner of the vmax,struggling with the good old clutch problem. Really hoping that I will get some help couse slowly I turn to mad max and will light my bike on fire :) After a slave cylinder rebuild,and master cylinder replace,2nd was thinkind that it...

I just inherited a 2001 Vmax with 40k miles thats been sitting in a garage for six or so years. Pulled the carbs, flushed the lines, sealed the gas tank ect and now that i have everything back on I started her up to find that I cant get it in gear. I can start in neutral, pull the clutch and...

I just swapped out the clutch disks and steels and I have clutch engagement from 3/4 release to full release. Is this normal? My history with the bike is that it has been like this since I bought it in August. Since then, I changed the fluid and bled it with a Mity-vac, changed out the clutch...

Is an oem gasket required for clearance on the clutch cover? I need to adjust the shift arm and don't have one on hand. I can, of course, wait for one if it's necessary.

Mornin all. My 05 has started making strange sounds when I try to start it. I found a video on YouTube of a bike with the same sound. Is this the starter clutch that is causing this? The starter clutches that I see on Ebay from Ideal engine parts, are these quality items? What is the best tool...

Clutch was slipping a little so I decided to replace disks. Ordered a Barnett Clutch Spring Conversion Kit and their friction and steel plates. Of course that was before I researched it and saw that that is not the way most folks go. Read this how to post...

Noticed my clutch slipping recently when I really get on it. It's intermittent...which seems odd. Bike only has 6,500 miles on it. Also, the clutch doesn't engage until the lever is almost completely released. Not sure if these issues are related...or if I just need a new clutch. Anyone seen...
