Clutch lever very hard to pull 91 rm250 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

EDMRM · 05-12-2006, 11:38 PM

replaced my clutch about a month ago or more and since ive replaced it the thing has been very hard to pull in. If i loosen it off a little bit its easier but then the clutch drags too much and stalls the bike out (you have to rev it pretty high to keep it running) any reason as to why its like this? or what I could do to fix the problem

I would drain your crankcase fluid and check the state of it. If there are metal filings in it, then there is a possibility that there is a problem with the clutch itself.

Im having the exact same problem with my 86 rm250. Let me know if you figure out what it is

Did you remove the actuation arm off the splined clutch actuation shaft. If so you may have placed it back on at the wrong angle.
