Why Can't the Motorcycle Clutch Be Pulled?
2 Answers
This situation can basically be determined as a case where the clutch pressure plate and driven wheel cannot separate. It is recommended to start the inspection from the clutch cable, then check the clutch fork, return spring, and other components to see if there are any abnormalities. Introduction to Clutch: The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. Introduction to Magnetic Particle Clutch: Magnets are placed between the driving and driven parts. When not electrified, the magnetic particles are in a loose state; when electrified, the magnetic particles combine, and the driving and driven parts rotate simultaneously. Advantages: Torque can be adjusted by regulating the current, allowing for larger slip differences. Disadvantages: Temperature rises significantly with larger slip differences, and the relative price is high.
I've been riding motorcycles for almost twenty years and have encountered the issue of a stiff clutch lever many times. Usually, the problem is caused by the clutch cable rusting or aging and getting stuck, especially if you ride in humid weather and don't maintain it afterward, which can lead to rusting. It could also be that the cable itself is damaged or that the lever lacks lubrication, making it tight when moved. If you encounter this situation, don't force the lever, as it can easily injure your fingers or even snap the cable. Quickly find a safe place to stop and turn off the engine, then spray some lubricant onto the cable and wait a few minutes for it to penetrate and lubricate. Gently move the lever to see if it loosens. If it still doesn't work, you'll need to replace the cable or take it to a professional shop for repair. A malfunctioning clutch is very dangerous while riding, as losing control of speed can lead to a crash. So, always remember to lubricate the clutch cable during maintenance to prevent issues. After each ride, do a quick check of mechanical parts to avoid water buildup and rust—safety first, brother.
