    79 suzuki gs550 clutch problems

    Hey guys,

    I took my bike for a ride tonight. While sitting at a light, as it turns green I am in first gear and release the clutch. It's like there is not enough tension on the clutch to pull it out all the way. It kind of sticks and I need to pull it in and let it go so that it disengages. It's sticky.

    I put a new clutch cable in a while ago because my old one was frayed and broke. I have a little bit of free play in the clutch but not loads, Clymer says I should 2-3mm free play in the cable and I believe I do.

    I there something I can grease in order to get the clutch to disengage smoother?

    Thanks,
    Danny

    Have a look through this article from the BassCliff site on the 550 clutch.

      if you take small cover off lh side of sprocket cover 3 bolts you have a grease nipple for the mechanism that pushes on clutch rod .

      make sure clutch cable is routed right too .
