Clutch issue?

SON1C · May 9th, 2013, 06:38 AM

Shifting gears and my clutch (lever?) became stuck backwards? Like permanently back almost vertical, is mine damaged or can yours do this? Been learning to shift softer lol

Not sure what you mean by being stuck backwards. Are you meaning the lever is pressed against the grip/handle bar is if you were disengaging the clutch to shift gears? Perhaps your clutch cable is frayed and getting caught at the point where the cable attaches to your lever.

Vertical? Adjustable/folding levers?

No it's like this

-- normal

If you hit it too hard l

It should move freely, without any snagging anywhere. Start by lubing and adjusting the cable. Check the barrel connection where it attaches to the lever and grease it as needed.

Vertical?!?!?!? I am scratching my with Cuong..

Sounds like you have a loose bolt on your shifter link. Loosen the bolt as much as possible. Inspect the splines on the shaft to make sure they are not stripped. Put the link and shifter pedal back close to a normal position, tighten the bolt and find neutral, loosen the bolt, re-adjust the the shifter link to a good position without moving the shaft from the neutral position, re-tighten the bolt.
