Hello i have a 82' cm450 and i am stuck in neutral with no clutch. Seems jammed anything simple i can do without cracking this case in half? Thanks in advance!
Hi Joshua, hope you already fixed your bike, if not it looks like your clutch is sticking, it usually happens when the bike is sitting for too long Symptoms: With the engine off, it will roll on neutral but in any gear with the clutch pressed it won’t move. First Make sure that the clutch cable or hydraulic system is working, the clutch leaver should feel like it is working the clutch. To lose the clutch when it’s sticking, the right way is to remove it and clean the plates, the easy way is to turn on the bike in first or second gear while the bike is running keep pressed the clutch then start braking and accelerating at the same time till the clutch pops, like if you were trying to do a burn out, but with the clutch pressed all the time,
To anyone curious, I did this on my 450e using this video as reference. Very good; I used a tub drain removal tool and slightly modified it with a hack saw to fit the part I was talking about in my original comment (above). It worked but due to the aluminum being so soft it's a one shot deal
For my 82 cm 450 I ordered a 27mm clutch replacement tool 1/2 in drive wrench. Unlike this video, I needed a second pair of hands to keep the clutch from spinning.
Mind goes faster than fingers srry, for the clutch there’s the plate that goes over the four springs that can’t be too deep mine is A little deeper than flush with the outside of the basket you have to basically move that to the clutch push rod inside
Had to order the clutch nut tool! But this video helped a lot!
Thanks! Great video
This helped immensely! Thanks!
Glad to hear that!! Good luck with your project!!
Where did you order the new parts from?

Is this the same process for a rebel 450?
What’s the tool you used on the center ring around 8:35? Is it just a pipe with notches in it or is there a specific tool for this?

Ok little tip the springs when putting back together for me they had to be a little deeper than the outer basket it wasn’t pushing enough in
