I have a 98 f3 which has 27,000 miles. I was ridding and my bike just lost all power. I looked at the clutch and decided to replace it becasue it was discolored and worn out. It didn't fix the problem. My bike starts and runs w/ nowierd noises or anything. When I go to shift in to gear it feels like it goes in to gear but the bike won't goat that point I can leave my bike in gear and push it fairly easy. It is a little harder to push than in neutral but not by much. Any help is a +, Thanks Greg.

 

maybe the new clutch isnt engaging properly?? does the clutch leve feel spongy or weird?

 

no it feels firm and i adjusted and took apart and re adjusted just to make sure, Its good

 

if it was engaging though...it wouldnt be able to be in gear and not move...
somethins not right...hmm...it doesnt grab at all??

 

Yeah it barely engages but not enough to keep it from moving do you think it could be a shift link?

 

I said a little something on your general tech thread. I just read about you seeming to have enough play in the clutch handle. So, I guess we can eliminate that. What type of oil did you use? If you used oil with additives, it will cause the clutch to slip.
