while riding my bike i went to engage the clutch, and it made a clunking noise:eek: then the engine died out. I restarted the engine and started pedaling up to speed, i engaged the clutch and nada. so i shut the engine off and pedaled home. any ideas:-/ please ? one thing I remembered was that i had made an adjust to the idle earlier the day this happened. could that have somehow done something to it

Sounds like something broke loose. Is it engaging from outside the case ? Can you push the throw arm to the clutch connected to the outside of the case ? Hope that it's something external - or may be time to open up and inspect your clutch. Happy Riding from - Mountainman
 
it moves by the cable, and the arm moves will move by hand also. I was thinking maybe i needed to add some lucas gear oil to it. Cause i 'm seeing alot about inproper lubrication issues. I dunno maybe thats the cause. would be sweet if that is all it needs.

i added the lucas gear oil & stop leak to the gearbox about 3 to 4 mm. i also lowered my idle and adjusted the air/fuel knob. clutch will engage now but seems sluggish, IS this because of the gear oil? or is there some other adjustment i need to do?
