    2008 Te450 1450 miles Not sure how old the clutch is..

    I'm having a slight problem with going into neutral.
    When The engine is stopped it isn't really a problem. But when the engine is going, I cant go into neutral unless the bike is moving. Also when I am on the trail And I'm still in gear, if the engine dies and I have to restart, when i put the clutch in it feels like the clutch is still dragging and the engine doesn't want to start. Unless I manage to work it back into neutral.
    Time for a clutch ?? or did I manage to wear something else out?

    Thx ... Jeremy

    Did you check the fluid level in the master cylinder?

    There will always be a bit of drag on the clutch when the engine is not running and in gear, that is normal. if your bike actually lurches forward when you try to start it with the clutch in and in gear, or wants to creep forward with the motor running in gear, then you might have a problem. If so, try different motor oils. Some cause more drag on the clutch plates than others. Your engine oil should be clean. Make sure your clutch master cylinder is full of mineral oil and the oil is clean all the way down to the slave unit on the engine. Sometimes the piston down there wears the cylinder of the unit and it can leak.

    I would also check the master for fluid. Check your lever free play too.

    Before I got wrap around guards, I whacked a tree hard. Ever since then my master leaked a little fluid and did what your describing. I rebuilt the master, X- ringed the slave, adjusted the lever free play and it is good as it was new now.

    Not full, but at the correct level, IIRC it's 6mm from the top according to Magura, Husky say's 4mm from the top I believe.
    My numbers may be wrong (sometimers disease :p), I'm sure someone else here know's the needed level

    Did you ever find a cause? This is an issue I have been dealing with on my bike for about 6ish months.

    I have the bike apart right now, I'm doing fork seals then I'm goibg to attempt to address the issue, I think rebuilding the master and slave might be a fix, but well see

    It's super easy to take your clutch plates out and measure them just need a micrometer. Your owners manual should indicate the wear limits of the plates.
