I assume that, like my Beta, the clutch clears eventually. The way to speed this up is to push the bike off with a foot as you put it in to gear with the clutch lever in then change up the box, holding the lever in all the time; when you get to fourth the clutch will free and you should be OK after that. Or use the bike every week. Edited January 21, 2012 by 2/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helloyes Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 mine did that !! i changed the oil to mobil 1 15/50 motorcycle oil, was fine once that was done allways warmed the bike up before i rode it, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul w Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 change oil brand, to one for 4t mx engines. before re filling with new oil remove the clutch plates and clean all the old oil off. lastly when you finish riding pull the clutch lever in and hold it back with an elastic band, do this while the engine is hot. following week no sticking problems.

schmorgas Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 That old chestnut! Yes, both my Rev 4t and now my '11 Evo 4t have done it. But only when cold. Get the thing properly warmed through before selecting gear and it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
