fredsaprilia Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 After taking the gearbox/clutch apart after having a clutch problem (waiting for parts) this is what the counter balance gears looked like, i.e. shredded.... Hope this is an ok size. but yh mashed. What could have caused this, just use over time? And there was piece of plastic like this wedged behind the clutch and al over the place luckily not damaging anthing other than the two counter balance cogs.

Stu Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 i would say they are well and truly stuffed i think they are made out of either nylon or tufnal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredsaprilia Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Got 'em replaced now wid shiny new ones, there very tough for plastic even the mashed up one was strong. anyway put the new ones in took the old ones out including broken bits lodged in places they shoudnt, but the bike still wants to go forard when trying to start in gear with clutch in, i hope its the clutch cable. Just waiting for gasket paper and clutch cable now and we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_on_a_bike Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I didn't know they even made cogs out of plastic, well, not for the internals of engines anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredsaprilia Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Basket looks pretty clean, i think it may be the mechanism that the clutch cable to attached to at the clutch end... Because it seems very worn and may not be getting good contact with the clutch at all, so a blob of weld may work wonders. Ill double check the cluch backet tomorrow, the plates are fine, flat as a pancake.cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
