What is the common problem you have with your bikes?

If you can't tell if it is slipping or not, listen back-to-back.

Clutch slipping - 0:05
Not slipping - 14:43

When I was working at the local motorcycle shop I could not believe how many people came in with clutch cables bango tight. We would have customers come in all the time for diag on slipping clutches that took 20 minutes to two hours of labor to fix on Dirtbike's and it was end up costing well over 100 dollars almost every time. The best was when you would do the guy a favor and lube and adjust the cable to spec to be told by the customer that we messed up his now perfectly functional clutch

Good video.
Method I used to adjust cable free play servicing bikes was to turn the steering to full lock both sides, one side usually has less free play than the other as the cable bends more around the steering head, then adjust so it just has free play on the tight side.
That usually gives enough straight ahead and ensures at least some free play even on full lock.
Same for throttle cables.

Yeah finally someone who doesnt say a sticking clutch is slipping :D Almost every time someone says their clutch is slipping I need to ask, does it SLIP or stick?

Great video.
One thing to add, if you wear the clutch too much, in the pinch you can put washers between screws and springs, this will work for a while, just to let you go home.

You’ve got a very comprehensive tutorial! Keep up the good works, man!

[cooperwolfe]

My problem is I’m fighting between having enough free play and being able to fully disengage it.

Thank you! I wish I did this a year ago!
2 minutes adjusting the cable and the bike moves like a totally different bike. Probably a couple years before the clutch actually needs work!

Thank you bro!! Very educational as always. I just finished my top end on my 01 cr125. I'm trying to work all the bugs out. Loving what u do bro, keep up the good work!!

Tx Cameron for very detailed and slow explications. I'm just bought my first yz125. I'm learning a lot of stuff from your YT channel.

[rudikriek]

These videos really help me out a lot, very informative and gives good guidance in terms of what to expect and what to look out for.

Hello, I just got my dirtbike "repaired" I had a broken crankcase and kick start gear, but my transmission before was working fine, now when I start the bike, pop it in first gear to take off, only to find out I'm back in neutral, I'll kick down to put it back on first, only to be able to kick it in first over and over, occasionally it stays on first then seems to slip out of it, only way I got it to work is if I literally hold my foot pushing it down to keep it In first gear, what do you think it could be? Any info/help would be greatly appreciated!

[taraskompaniyets]
