Clutch went out - Honda TRX450R Forums: Honda TRX 450R Forum

I jus went out to lube my clutch cable with this new tool i got and when I put the lever back on, and pulled the clutch in, the bike wont roll...... its staying in gear. I rode it around yesterday no problem. It has always seemed like it was easier to roll in neutral than it was in gear with the clutch pulled in. I tightened/ adjusted the clutch cable as much as i could and still could not get the clutch to engage..... Think its time for a new clutch basket or something? I have no experience with clutches yet!

is the bike running or off when u try to roll it? With the engine off the bike will not roll with the clutch pulled in! engine needs to be running for the clutch to work properly. sounds like everything is operating properly to me.

I havent tried starting it yet..... I suppose i could go try but i used to be able to roll it in gear w/ clutch pulled in while the engine was off...... i dont see how i could jus lube the cable and lose the ability to do that

Yeah man, mine is the same way I think. Just try it running. You may need to adjust your cable but other than that you're probably good.

You probably just need to adjust your cable since you took it off to lube it. You may not have gotten it put back on the same way.

Ok I went outside and tried to start it in gear with the clutch pulled in and it jus tries to roll forward as i kick it. When i put it in neutral and kick it over itll start right and everything..... so i rode it in the field and when i get on it itll kind of slip like the clutch is still engaged however if i just give it a little gas and coast around its fine although there is some noises i dont think ive heard before. Im gonna go try and adjust it some more.
