clutch gone after 1500 km ???
Just returned from short trip out of the city being towed by a car...on rope
Clutch gave up all of the sudden, the lever got stiff immediately and adjusting didn't helped much. I could slowly ride for few km but any hill was out of the question. I am really disappointed because the bike is new, 1500km (900 miles) on the clock, just back from the first maintenance service and clutch is gone when I didn't even start to ride seriously offroad what kinda plates yamaha puts in, from paper? What do you think, stock clutch is really that bad or I had bad luck? I understand repair will be under warranty but should I put better clutch maybe right away since I'm planning dirt, sand riding? p.s. BTW being towed by a car on rope connected on both sides with hooks is something I don't want to repeat anymore. I do not recommend this, by the book you should have loose end on your side ready to drop anytime. |

We have had (to the best of my knowledge) one instance of this before...
http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?t=22711 Yamaha will replace it like-for-like under warranty. As I said in your other thread, I really don't think fitting HD plates or springs will be necessary; they'll just make the clutch action heavier, more juddery and harder to feather/control. For the clutch to have gone in such a short distance their will almost certainly have been either a fault in one of the components, or it was set up incorrectly/miss-adjusted from the off. Even fairly well abused XTs easily see north of 50K miles on a stock clutch if they are properly adjusted and the correct oil is used. |
