hey guys so i just got a 124 +r motor and it runs excellent!

only problem is that the clutch wont work.



i attached the clutch cable to the motor lever that controlls the clutch then i ran the cable up the fram and to the perch and lever.... but when i pull the clutch lever in the arm on the motor barly moves. and it wont shift into gear (i think its not moving far enough forward)

and then like when i let go of the clutch lever instead of going back (retracting) it stays there enuless u puch it back?



help please?

from the outside?

the motor is still put together completely?



heres a pic of the lever thats not really moving very far the cable seems like it might be to long or something idk?

 

[squidwell]

yes outside pic of arm/cable area

cable routing is key to clutch performance...what is going on with cable going over that bolt I see in the pic? that is part of your problem.

 

[110's R.D]

nah it cant be cuz even when it wasnt there it was still doing it. is that spring even supposed to be on the outside of the clutch cover,,, i kinda thought they were supposed to be on the inside of it

 

[squidwell]

nope spring is on the outside I just took a look at one of my Tak covers and realize the bolt I mentioned is the motor mount bolt. simply turn it around so the nut and excess bolt are on the stator side. as you stated cable length may be the issue. Is the cable a Tak brand or other?

 

[110's R.D]

gotta feeling its another... were can i get a tak clutch cable?

and ok tomorrow ill switch the bolt around so its facing the other way.

Try Staggs (advertiser on PM) since he is closer other wise Mini Mob they are in Canada.

okay cool cool thanks man!

hopefully thats all it is cuz this cable looks way to long lol i think thats it a matter of fact. plus its way to damn stiff haah!

 

[squidwell]

pull cable and measure length, I'll measure my Tak cable as a reference....one other thing you might try is removing the clutch arm and moving it back(away) from cable mount/adjustment flange by a notch on the shaft.

 

[110's R.D]

okay cool i lost my tape measure it seems can u leave me the length of ur cable please?



and okay that might work also.

Just curious. Will it shift into gear without using the clutch at all?



Also, i have a feeling that spring is the reason why ur clutch arm doesnt fall back into place after u let out of the clutch. Unless ur cable is hanging on that motor mount bolt that u need to flip around and put in the other way.

 

[LongMooie]

the cable resting on the bolt will affect the pull, turn the bolt around as said already, not 100% sure its been a long time since i had the tak clutch but isnt there a tab that the cable goes into on the cover?

 

[inked]

Two Bros also has a clutch cable if staggs doesn't.

 

[squidwell]

Tak cable I have is 41 1/2 " from end to end. Did you move the arm back one position? Any difference?

 

[110's R.D]

okay guess sorry i was at school.

but the bikes does shift into gear without the clutch. not first try however. it take some times like 10-15 mines to get it to first without the clutch and other times like 3-6 times....



i kinda think ita the clutch kit its self...

or something not put in right. because i took the clutch cover off and everything and i dont know if everythings right?



if it was internal what do u think it would be its not the cable or the bolt i tried those both and now i took the oil cap off and pulled on the lever and looked into the oil filler hole and the arm thats supposed to push into does not move the clutch springs at all.. its weird but like i said ive never had any expiecrences with a cluth on a tak motor or almost anything.

Isn't the throw out bearing usually flush with the surface of the lifter plate? That could explain why you're having difficulty getting it into gear or the lack of any feel in the clutch lever. Could be the wrong size bearing in there. Just a thought...

 

[110's R.D]

hmm it could be.... that the springs are all the way compressed in fact they are. im looking at it now and the clutch springs are all the way compressed cant push them down or anything are they supposed to be like that or are they supposed to have some spring in them and not be bolted all the way down completely???



lemme know please
