i got this 88/89 hybrid yz125 and i can't get the clutch to stop dragging . it's an 88 frame with an 89 engine in it . i've tried just about everything , heres what i know as of now .
all my plates are good and sit flat on a piece of glass
the basket isn't grooved up but it's an 88 basket , the 88 used a different style clutch , but the basket is supposed to be the same . everywhere that sells replacement baskets lists that their one basket fits 88-91 yz125 , so i guess it doesn't matter that it's an 88 basket .
the 88 and 89 clutch cables are different , but i have both and neither make it stop dragging .
i had a spare clutch cover that was busted so i cut a window in it and put it on the bike , the pressure plate is disengaging just fine with what looks like more than enough room to seperate the plates (this is the style of clutch with 2 smaller friction plates and a spring plate to help seperate them)
no matter what i do when i put it in gear it stalls out . i've adjusted cables , rebuilt the clutch pack about 20 times , the basket and hub aren't all grooved up . i'm really running out of ideas . only other thing i can think of is oil , i'm using the same atf that my friend uses in all his bikes , maybe mine doesn't like atf for some reason . anyone have any ideas ? all this bike needs to be perfect is a working clutch , then i can finally go riding .
