jrb Posted September 15, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 15, 2011 I changed the clutch basket and now the clutch lever will not depress, it's hard as a rock. Anyone else have this and what should I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes0778 Posted September 15, 2011 Share #2 Posted September 15, 2011 Not sure exactly what's hanging up, but I suspect you need to go back into the clutch. There is something out of place. I'll be into my clutch this weekend. I have Skydoc's upgrade kit on order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else have this and what should I do. One option is that your pressure plate is not seated properly. Another is that you may have some extra parts in there... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=52454 Check out post #14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrb Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted September 15, 2011 The clutch lever will not even move when the clutch basket is not installed. I do not recall touching the lever when things were apart but maybe I did. Could this be my problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condor Posted September 15, 2011 Share #8 Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) You're gonna have to remove the basket again and check assembly. Check that the push rods are moving correctly by gently squeezing the lever and keeping a finger on the rods. The pressure plate may not be installed right. It only fits one way. Keep rotating it untill it seats down on the discs.... Bet that takes care of you problem.... Don't ask me how I know that....

Unless you get spring resistence from the clutch pack pressue plate to return the fluid into the master the slave will bottom out to max and then not go anywhere. Check the pressure plate...

straycatt Posted September 16, 2011 Share #11 Posted September 16, 2011 I had this same problem when I did my I basket. I just took it back apart and reassebled it and it worked right. Never did figure out what I did wrong the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcarl Posted September 17, 2011 Share #14 Posted September 17, 2011 Did you pull the shaft out and loose the ball bearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrb Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share #15 Posted September 17, 2011 I am getting no air from the bleed screw and I checked the ball bearing is still in the hole. Really frustrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
