2009 rmz250 clutch problem

[adamq73]

Hello all, was wondering if anyone could help me a bit. recently my bike has a hard time shifting into 4th and 5th and i cant put into neautral with bike running. I did have some issues with clutch creep but was able to adjust simply by the quick adjuster on leaver.

Someone told me my clutch cable needed to be adjusted to fis the shifting problem, however when i checked the cable adjustment it was at its max.

does this mean i need to change my clutch plates?
If anyone can enlighten me on this subject it would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks

Which way did you adjust it? Tighter or more loose?
Sometimes there is an adjusted midway down the cable, which can give you a bit more pull/play.
The clutch lever should have a couple mms play at the perch when a cable is set up optimally.
Also check that the cable isn't frayed and broken. -BIG DAN

Ya the cable was already maxed out to the tightest and when I went to loosen it off the threads snapped inside the stationary cable nut. I'll post a pic of where it snapped.

Time for a new cable.
Adjust it with just a little free play at the lever. -BIG DAN

if it is difficult to shift into 4th and 5th then you may gave a worn or bent shift fork. check out your clutch adjustment first though.
