Why can't the motorcycle shift back to neutral from first gear suddenly?
1 Answers
This is caused by the clutch cable being too loose. Shifting from first gear to neutral requires more torque due to the larger gear size. If the cable is too loose, causing incomplete clutch disengagement, gear shifting becomes difficult. Adjusting the cable tension can resolve this issue. Precautions for clutch usage: While driving, do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal. When starting, master the engagement point properly and avoid using low gears at high speeds. For automatic transmission vehicles, avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator during driving. The normal service life of clutch plates, like brake pads, cannot be precisely defined—it varies depending on individual driving habits, road conditions, load capacity, etc. In other words, faster wear leads to shorter lifespan, while slower wear extends it. Composition of the clutch: The clutch consists of the driven disc assembly, clutch pressure plate and cover assembly, release bearing, and flywheel. The primary materials used are high-strength steel, aluminum alloy, and ductile iron. Additionally, the release bearing is a crucial component of the clutch engagement and disengagement mechanism.
