Title: Clutch lever stuck
Post by: Smagu on August 24, 2011, 01:26:45 PM

Hi got  a problem with my clutch

my bike is a Monster S4 2001

the clutch isn't modified (yet)

the clutch level got harder to press and then the pressure plate pressed on to the cover and damage it

I checked for leaks in the hydralic system and the slave cylinder. Yhe hydralic fluid lloks good. the level is comletly stuck, I can't move it. can't find any other damages on the hub,  plates, rod or. the only thig I maybe missing is a small pin. is thet a part of the hub or ?

Grateful for any tip of what to look for or whats causing this. Its my first bike and I havn't fiddle with bikes before.

Pull the clutch pressure plate and check the large clutch hub nut.

can't find any dmg on that, my whole clutch is in pieces now =)
Should I be able to move the level without the clutch disk and rod??

Yes, the lever should move easily without the pushrod and pressure plate installed.

Can you push the piston back into the slave cylinder?

Yes I can push it back in. I can move it a little if I push the clutch level.

Do u think its the slave cylinder who is broken ?

if so, whats the diffrence between a 28mm and a 30mm aftermarket

If you can push the slave piston back in it's most likely OK.

Maybe the master. It's hard to tell

HI

My clutch is in working order now. It was the smal pin in the center nut that was missing.

Thanks
