Well, here goes.....
I have a Diamondback Beach Cruiser, with a RAW (discontinued) motor. It has been running fine until last week. I have had this motor for a year. The clutch started slipping, and in riding, the gears started to sound like they were not meshing. On the way home from a friends house I made a stop and the clutch froze. I could not engage it at all. I had to push the bike all the way home, and trying to keep the back tire off the ground at the same time. (Had to replace the tire and tube). I finally was able to free the clutch, but not being able to replace the clutch with a new one that I have purchased because I don't have the drive removal tool. It sounds like that gears are not working like they are supposed to. Right now, I can push the bike with the clutch out, and cannot even get the bike started because I don't have any resistance (like a clutch engagement).
Have I broken something inside that I can't see?
Will I have to rebuild the motor?
Do I have to junk this one?
Thank you for your help!
