Well guys, It was a fun ride while we had it. Not really going to miss this bike much as it was a lot of trouble. However it did teach me a lot! Stay tuned for my next project coming soon! as always thank you for watching!
After googling and youtube this was the only thing I can find that explained my issue clearly, bike wouldn't down shift for me on occasion and yesterday it almost sent me into the street when i started in 1st. Clutch was pulled in ALL the way. Havent took the bike apart yet but im positive this is the issue. Won't even roll in 1st w/ clutch atm. Gonna order some new parts, bikes at 35k, hopefully i can get another 35k.
Dude you should have took that basket out to file them down. You'll fill the bottom of the motor with aluminum shavings. Glad you changed the oil after you did that. I Recommend Amsoil dirt 10w40 and repack the silencer lol. Those 125s are loud as hell when that packing wears out
U should have taken basket out an do that easy with impact gun ur basket looks ruff i have yz125 2003 an apex head an lectron carb its dangerous fast so much fun ur bike sounds good
Ur having all the same exact problems as my atv. I’ve replaced the stator and the bolts were stripped, so I had to order specialty replacement bolt set, and my clutch basket is grooved and the rod isn’t pushing the basket. I’ve been through the carb so many times and it finally works perfect, and then the clutch messed up. I figured it was this issue so that’s why I was looking. Good video for reassuring my thoughts
I had this same problem with my cr85 it was sitting for 8 months cause it needed a new top end all I did was change the oil and started on a stand and went through all the gears 1-6 and it engages now.
johnsn10 I’ve also had handful of bikes and multiple CR 125s every single bike rolled with the clutch in while in gear. But yes I’ve heard on occasion race bikes don’t like to roll with clutch in. This bike on the other hand definitely had a problem with the clutch.
Same thing happens to me, my clutch cable finally snapped so I replaced it (with the correct cable and everything) now the clutch won’t even engage and I dunno what to do
I have a 2004 kx250f will full motor rebuild and it does the same thing I have to have to clutch lever pulled all the way in and rev the piss out the bike just to get moving if u figured it out let me know my clutch basket is shot have deep groves and I ordered a pro x clutch basket and let's hope that fixes it
When I let the clutch out (dirt bike) there is a now a moment (often) where its not engaged, then after a second it will seem to lock up and engage finally. The clutch has many hours, but I'm asking if this very specific action is pretty common when the clutch is going out, or would it likely be something else?
1st sounds dumb but make sure your chain is on properly, 2nd what’s the front sprocket looking like? Is it all chewed up? That would cause it to just spin when the bike is in gear. I would also take clutch cover off and make sure is engaging when you pull the lever in. If that checks out it’s a deeper problem like clutch plates shot or a transmission problem.
your oil is probably the main problem you need to change your oil out for a clutch oil that is meant for that bike it may be more expensive than using other oils but your clutch wont do that again
i need some help i bought a dirt bike and the clutch doesnt work but the bike can change gears while riding ithe bike jumpps when i put it in first gear then it shuts off. any reason why? By the way im new to riding bikes
No, you either have the same problem as me (clutch not engaging) could be as little as adjusting the clutch cable to replacing the clutch arm or basket.
