Hey all, I have a 1998 rm250 that seems to have a clutch issue.
I have tried adjusting the cable from short to long with no ill effect.
1st symptom is after bike is started, even after warm up.. pull the clutch in, and drop into first gear, the bike wants to lurch forward, at times i have to hold the front break and give it a little gas to keep it from dying, then off i go.. and when you just idle around and pull in the clutch and rev it still seems to want to lurch a bit.
2nd symptom after riding a bit, at a stop fire the bike up.. pull in the clutch and drop it into first gear and start to release the clutch the bike seems to jerk around. and I mean like it jerks, lets go, jerks, lets go and jerks again all while still trying to let the clutch completely out. Now all of this happens in just seconds. I remembered the bike never doing that before.. Is my clutch going? I am using 10-40w and have tried various oils.. nothing is changing the way its peforming.. which is bad i think.
Thanks.. Mike from Kansas
