    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

"Sticky" clutch..

Please forgive my ignorance if this is a common question and I missed it in my searches.
I am fairly new to working on my motorcycle and I'm a long ways away from home and stressed about my issue.

My clutch is sticky..
To explain, when I start riding everything feels great and fine. Once everything warms up my clutch gets very sticky. Typically I was able to sort of just work the lever out with a finger on each side and that would be okay. But recently it has started to stick even more. Which means I am always jumpy when I start moving, and sometimes even getting into second is jumpy. At times it won't even disengage and let me start moving.. When this happens I have to pull over and fiddle with the cable until it will work again. I have tried adjusting the cable both at the lever and at the base.. I am sure that neither of these are the issue...

There have also been a few times where I start moving and things feel peculiar so I just lightly touch my clutch and then it seems like it fully disengages and let's me move.

What would the best plan of attack be?

I recently moved from Canada to San Diego California, and my motorcycle is my only mode of transportation. Frustrating to say the least.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!!
 
Replace the cable. It is probably holding on by a couple strands and the rest are binding up in the housing.
 
Use an impact driver on the screws or drill the heads on all of them and take the cover off. Then take them off with vice grips and replace with allen bolts.
