[QUOTE="chris_wr250, post: 1190327, member: 77344"] Hi all, thanks for the replies, Everything looks good, no cable routing issues, nothing was loose/bent/broken (really still a new bike with only ~ 100 miles on it) and the freeplay is right in spec. There doesn't seem to be a sweet spot in between dragging and slipping. If I loosen the locknuts so there's more slack in the cable, the clutch won't engage - can't get it into gear. If I tighten the nuts up, the clutch drags. Can't find a middle ground, it's one or the other. The bike is still rideable, just worried about long-term wear if the clutch isn't in spec, and these are annoying: - bike jumps slightly when I pop it into gear - bike wants to keep moving when I stop in gear, have to keep the brake on or go into N. - can't roll start (I guess I could by putting it in N, then moving into gear and popping the clutch) I called up a local yamaha dealer, guy said he's heard of this with wr250s, but he was more of a street dealer, not much exp with dirtbikes. Beyond my skills to tell if the clutch innards need adjusting, might bring her into a more knowledgeable shop tomorrow. Will post results for the benefit of anyone searching for clutch-disengaging problems. I searched and found a ton of threads, but no resolutions. [/QUOTE]
