The clutch is a mechanical connection of the engine to the drivetrain. It would not cause what you are describing. This is either an ignition issue or a problem with the intake. Intake problem could be anything from valves to fuel supply

SOURCE: friction zone on 620 clutch

There are nice adjustable levers avaliable at your Ducati store. A good thing if you have smaller hands. Doesn't cure the sudden engagement, but maybe makes it easier to control.

SOURCE: 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Lerado, low coolant alarm

This same thing happened to mine. It only happened in really cold weather though. I added a few inches more of coolant into the overflow. It fixed the problem. I also discovered if that is not the problem, the sensor in the overflow can go out and a replacement is about 20 bucks.

SOURCE: motor cuts out when gear engaged

Make sure you have your stand up before you put it in gear. Some bikes have a stand switch that doesnt allow the bike to be in gear while the stand is down. This switch may have been damaged when the bike fell and now be malfunctioning.

Sym mio 50 is starting then cutting out for about ten minutes then when warm it runs fine I have replaced the carb this has not made any difference please help

Definetly an air leak, I believe what is happening is where the inlet manifold joins the cylinder it has a poor joint which when cold is contracted and when engine heats up the joint expands with the heat,sealing the leak, ie causing the fuel/air mixture to become rich enough for scoot to run.

Hi, I bought a brand new Keeway Outlook 125 jusy 5 weeks ago. Since I bought i had problems when starting it so they put in a new carburator that had a new automatic choke on it. I still have problems...

Is it normal that a new bike dies on you as you drive it? No way my friend. The carburetor should have a thermal-choke and it probably needs some adjustment.

2010 YZ250 2 stroke Overheating - the bike is used for extreme enduro riding. I have recently found that it is overheating very easily. Any idea what can be causing this?

Sounds like an overly lean condition accompanied by a high compression situation. Perhaps the bloke that owned the bike before you had the head cut to increase compression. In this case, you could either replace the head or run high octane fuel.

Also - look at the water pump condition - seals and the drive gear. The seals might be leaking if your oil is discolored and the gear that drives the impeller has been known to shed teeth over long periods of time. It is also quite possible that the bearing is shot.

Also check to make sure the head pipe does not have any leaks near the cylinder.

Hi There was an idit who cut me up now the insurance company im

The problem with insurance companies to day is ,that payouts are sujuect to year not condition .If your bike was a few years old it would be no problem .However as your bike is nearly 20 years old ,In the insurance eyes its worth very little .Certain insurance companies do what is knoiwn as a classic insurance policy .Which in the event of an acccident repaires or payout are much more than a normal insurance policy .But again your bike has to be classed as a classic to obtain such a policy by your insurance company .Check the bike ads and try and see what the same bike and year are fetching .You will find a vast diffrence in prices as the bike are in various conditions & a high mileage bike ,will sell cheaper than a low mileage one .Condition has tro be taken into account.Remember this is selling prices ,Not insuranmce values .So prices will be diffrent .

Kdx 200 clutch not engaging properly

The clutch in your bike is a wet clutch. There is a lot of hyrdostatic friction even when the clutch is released completely. I think a large factor is the type, age and condition of oil. Perhaps something as simple as an oil change would help.

I HAVE A SYM JOYRIDE 125 AND THERES A TAPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE SHAFT , I HAVE CHECKED THE OIL AND ITS FULL IM WONDERING IF OIL GOES ANYWHERE ELSE? AND IF SO WHERE???

If you hear a tapping noise from the gearbox then you have a broken gear tooth. Is the sound is present in all the gears or just in one or two gears? If the tapping is present in all gears then the busted tooth is on the clutch hub or the crankshaft drive gear. This is good because it is easier to fix than a broken transmission gear.

If the tapping is just in one or two gears then you will need to remove the engine for a complete tear down. In any event, ALWAYS replace gears in sets. Replace the broken gear and the gear that it meshes with. Don't replace both gears and you will soon wish you did. ALWAYS replace gears in sets.

Please rate this answer. Thanks!
