I have a Honda trx 300ex with a barnett dirt digger clutch kit on it but I need to replace the cable does that mean I have to buy the same clutch cable as the clutch kit on the four wheeler
Hi, I have a trx250ex with a sports clutch and I can’t get it to go on 1 gear plus and the clutch is very hard. Any repair videos you have on this issue.
@Partzilla.com I have a 03 400ex I installed a HMF full exhaust system and the clutch cable sits right against the head pipe and gets melted. There’s no other way to reroute it, is there a longer cable option for this model to fix my issue. I’ve searched the internet and a lot of other’s seem to have this same problem.
I have the same bike the 2007 version and i was riding and noticed the front lights were flicking off and on then the next day the bike wouldnt start at all and i cant figure out the problem i think its something electrical can u give me a idea of what it could be
i just replace the clutch today and the clutch cable has to much slack. so i came to this video to find out what to adjust and i tried to do what this video was telling me but i have so much slack that the clutch feel like its not even working and i can take the fine adjustment and the course adjustment right out of their place while trying to tighten the clutch.. this is after doing the clutch replacement
Have a 2001 400ex and when I take off in first I have maybe 1 inch left before it takes off and when im shifting up from there it revs up all the way and then catches. Do I just need to adjust the clutch or replace it ?
They are different on older models. Everything for your model is here...www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/atv/2001/trx350tm-a-fourtrax-rancher/handle-switch-cables
the clutch on my 01 400ex is extremely hard to pull. I can do it fine for like 20 minutes of riding then it fatigues my hand to the point where i can't even pull it in 1/4. Any ideas? dirty cable?
+Glue Stikce Not all of that is necessary. I wanted to cover all the angles. Because I replaced the clutch lever, the zero point (the fine almost all the way in) required a reset on the course adjustment (the pinch bolts on the clutch cover bracket). If you are merely adjusting the fine adjustment where there is plenty of threads (more than 5 turns), you don't have to mess with the course. Thanks for the question. John
+Partzilla.com Im just replacing the clutch lever cause there is some wiggle room but will i have to take out the slack in the line if i do replace it? The one i have currently is quite hard to pull back how do i fix that?
+Glue Stikce You will need to adjust the course if there is less than 5 turns left on the fine. The difficulty on the pull can be due to two possibilities: 1.) The cable itself has dried out and needs replacement. 2.) The clutch drum or basket is worn to the point they have those "steps" I mention in the clutch replacement video. My bet is that it will be the cable. Disconnect it from the lever and see if you can move it freely back and forth , if it is really stiff, then that's you culprit. www.partzilla.com/parts/detail/honda/HP-22870-HN1-A40.html Thanks John
I have a 2012 Yamaha YFZ 450 every time i get one end hooked the other is short i cant even put that screw in on the clutch lever am I doing something wrong? I tried adjusting but its still not working
Listen I been looking for ONE video that has someone installation a acutater arm in a 1986 Honda trx 250r my last one snapped and I have zero clue on how to install one any help would be very appreciated
Need a pro quote on this.. So i dont know if its my lever or clutch, but my 2008 honda trx400ex is having troubles going into neutral once warmed up, and also doesnt like to shift unless i pull the clutch in as hard as i can. clutch is also harder to pull in.. What would you think is wrong? Any help would be much appreciated!
hello,i have a 2007 trx 250ex,i have a sports clutch on it now And when I shift it into gear it won't move at all,do you have any ideas what it could be?
+Partzilla.com yes I took the oil cap off in the rear end where u fill it up with oil n I can see the gear but it's in contact but when I had it in gear I moved the rear tires back and forth n the gear won't move could it b the shaft?
when i disengage the clutch on my 2006 450er it seems to still rub, and it's adjusted as tight as it can go with the fine adjustments, do I need new springs?? or what?
Ok, so either your cable is so stretched or damaged it isn't disengaging the clutch or your clutch pack might be stuck. If you can't get it to work by messing with the cable, you might have to pull off the cover and inspect the internal lever or the clutch itself.
I have a question is that bike just a video bike for tutorials or do u actually ride it? a lot of the work you do is helpful but damn that bike is good condition to have all that work done to it
+Paradise City This one was purchased for this project however I actually owned one just like it till about 4 years ago. Sold it for a RZR 800s with a bent frame and rebuilt it. The say "With age comes a cage". That holds true in my case.
+Paradise City -- P.s. If you prefer to see work done on ridiculously funky ATVs, check out our new Polaris Sportsman 850 videos. That thing is a mess -- full of sandcastles and held together by barely more than a prayer we're finding. (Link to playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLazGjIO6R4vRHWckDaBPeSQiplmoOlnl6.html)
The only way the cable would affect downshifting is if it is not disengaging the clutch. Most bikes/ATVs are straight cut trannys, so you can upshift without the clutch. Downshifting requires you to blip the throttle to match rpms with the gearing. When you pull in the clutch while in gear, does the quad want to roll forward still?
No once clutch is pulled in it doesn't roll anymore. The shift lever had a return spring to the frame. I swapped for a tusk shifter . It doesn't hit anything but it doesn't return to position it would if spring was attached to frame still. Its a 2004 400ex alot of people say they don't have return springs on lever but mines looked OEM.
Check the link. #10. If that spring broke or isn't working right, it will cause an issue with reset. I would check that. www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/atv/2004/trx400ex-a-sportrax-400ex/shift-drum-shift-fork-99-04

are the disc for the clutch kits hard to install? I have never seen it done and I would like to replace mine.

Hi, I have a trx250ex with a sports clutch and I can’t get it to go on 1 gear plus and the clutch is very hard. Any repair videos you have on this issue.
If you've adjusted and lubed the clutch cable, then you need to inspect the clutch itself.

My clutch won't engage. Should I replace the actual clutch or buy the clutch kit
It could be the actuator, the clutch, the plates...It will require inspection.
What is that thing he twist that holds the cable called?

There might be an aftermarket solution or you can have the cables custom made from a shop. Have you tried just zip tying it to pull it off the header?
300ex cable buddy same but longer.
My foot shifter Broke, is there a video I can referance for replacement?
We haven't recorded a video like this yet, John, but we'll add it to the list of suggestions. Sorry your shifter broke!
On my honda 400ex if I replace my clutch level will I need to readjust it?
Yes
For some reason my cluch is slipping in my 2013 Honda TRX 450ER why do we need to change the cluck disks every 20 hours?
I have the same bike the 2007 version and i was riding and noticed the front lights were flicking off and on then the next day the bike wouldnt start at all and i cant figure out the problem i think its something electrical can u give me a idea of what it could be
Hello Khalik. I would start by simply checking the fuses.
i just replace the clutch today and the clutch cable has to much slack. so i came to this video to find out what to adjust and i tried to do what this video was telling me but i have so much slack that the clutch feel like its not even working and i can take the fine adjustment and the course adjustment right out of their place while trying to tighten the clutch.. this is after doing the clutch replacement
Hello Norman. it could be possible that you need to replace your clutch cable.
Does the cable stretch after long use...and would the new cable have to be shorter
Have a 2001 400ex and when I take off in first I have maybe 1 inch left before it takes off and when im shifting up from there it revs up all the way and then catches. Do I just need to adjust the clutch or replace it ?
Always try adjusting it first. If you are out of adjustment room, and it's still not engaging properly, it could be a stretched cable.
I have a 2001 Honda TRX350TM and wanted to know where I can find those cable adjusters

+Partzilla.com Ok thanks I'll try that on my '01 Honda TRX 400EX
what is the silver adjusters on the lever called
I have a 2012 Yamaha YFZ 450 every time i get one end hooked the other is short i cant even put that screw in on the clutch lever am I doing something wrong? I tried adjusting but its still not working
Listen I been looking for ONE video that has someone installation a acutater arm in a 1986 Honda trx 250r my last one snapped and I have zero clue on how to install one any help would be very appreciated
Not an easy unit to get a hold of. We'll keep an eye out.
I can use this to adjust where my clutch grabs? It grabs all the way at the end?
Mine to ever figure it out?
Need a pro quote on this.. So i dont know if its my lever or clutch, but my 2008 honda trx400ex is having troubles going into neutral once warmed up, and also doesnt like to shift unless i pull the clutch in as hard as i can. clutch is also harder to pull in..

Ever figure it out having this issue myself
Nice. I need to do this to my 400ex
hello,i have a 2007 trx 250ex,i have a sports clutch on it now And when I shift it into gear it won't move at all,do you have any ideas what it could be?
Are you sure that the clutch kit had the correct stack height for the plates?
+Partzilla.com yes I took the oil cap off in the rear end where u fill it up with oil n I can see the gear but it's in contact but when I had it in gear I moved the rear tires back and forth n the gear won't move could it b the shaft?
when i disengage the clutch on my 2006 450er it seems to still rub, and it's adjusted as tight as it can go with the fine adjustments, do I need new springs?? or what?
and would you possibly have a video on a 450er clutch replacement??
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
I just replaced my clutch cable on my 400ex and the clutch is still extremely stiff any ideas ? Should I by a new clutch kit ?
Are you sure you routed it correctly and it's not binding somewhere?
Partzilla yes I am sure
It wasn't stiff before you swapped the cable? Have you lubed the cable?
Partzilla it was stiff before I bought the cable that why I got a new one and yes I used cable lube
If all else fails, it's time to check the clutch and springs.
I have a 2002 honda 400ex, turns on fine . But when put in gear dies? I tried adjusting the clutch cable but no help, what could it be?
Does it just die, or does it jerk you forward before it dies?
Partzilla it just jerk you forward before it dies
Ok, so either your cable is so stretched or damaged it isn't disengaging the clutch or your clutch pack might be stuck. If you can't get it to work by messing with the cable, you might have to pull off the cover and inspect the internal lever or the clutch itself.
Partzilla thanks for the quick respose, that might be it, i try ispecting the internal lever. Thanks
I have a 2001 400ex trx, starts and run perfect in nutruel, but soon I put it in any gear it launches forward and engine dies out
I've installed a new clutch kit, pin shift lever and also new clutch cable and it still shuts down....Any Help on this Question
Have you checked the neutral safety switch?
so this means I can have any type of clutch cable for my atv
Yes sir!

I have a question is that bike just a video bike for tutorials or do u actually ride it? a lot of the work you do is helpful but damn that bike is good condition to have all that work done to it

Curious would clutch cable keep quad from downshifting while riding. I can upshift fine but the shifter has to come up to downshift.
The only way the cable would affect downshifting is if it is not disengaging the clutch. Most bikes/ATVs are straight cut trannys, so you can upshift without the clutch. Downshifting requires you to blip the throttle to match rpms with the gearing. When you pull in the clutch while in gear, does the quad want to roll forward still?

The clutch cable choice should have nothing to do with the type of clutch plates in the basket.
