- Watch me as I troubleshoot a drive issue on this 2004 Yamaha YZ450F (and almost get it right). The clutch cable gets replaced because it was in bad shape. The initial problem didn't get resolved but I am one step closer.
Thanks for watching.
To get into going with out a clutch,put bike in neutral, run as fast as you can or go down a hill and slam it into 1st give it a little throttle and you are rolling 🤙
Just got a yz400f and that's what I've been doing lol, clutch cable is coming in today so that's why I'm here
what kind of camera do you use? is it a go pro? its the perfect image for youtube videos
Same thing happened to me on my 4 wheeled version of that, I can confirm it's not easy to notice sometimes. Turns out the previous owner installed the cable backwards and it was rubbing against the handle -_-
Hey thanks for taking the time to post, great vid (only one like it). I am having the same issue but my cable is fine......I have been asking around and cant seem to get an iron-clad fix. I am really interested as to how you got on! what was the fix muddy?
Nick Morrow Hi Nick, it turns out the clutch basket was grooved, and needed to be replaced. Yamaha was notorious for this issue.
Did the clutch basket fix this problem ?
It did.
Hi there , I know ilthis is a bit old that video ... but I still hope . I have a WR450F 04 , it is leaking oil from where that clutch part is . Have any clue how I can change that ?
I wish I could help on that one. Good luck.
I understand this is an older video but am hoping to get a response. I have an 06 yz450f that makes the same motor noise as this. I read that is normal for these motors to “tick”. Any problems with this bike?
I personally think it is normal for this bike. I have a 2004 CRF450R and it rattles like that as well. My guess is that the bigger the piston on the 4 stroke bike, the more pronounced the rattle is. You should hear my old TT600. Oh lord does that thing thump.
It’s normal the clutches are really noisy I have the same bike
5:34 what’s that trigger right above the clutch handle called
That's the hot start.
a 'hot start' button, it is a cable that allows more air to flow into the engine since it is already hot and ready. On my '01 yz426f the bike starts with one kick while pushing down the hot start, and will not start without it.
@@goatsticks101 this explains my trouble with my 07 250. Getting stuck at long beach, wa is no bueno
Does it matter how the clutch cable runs from one end to the other
Usually it does.
@@muddyfences5559 sweet thankyou just putting one in my 03 dad seemed to think it didn't matter but I thought otherwise
This is the exact same problem as mine as I just replaced clutch cable
When you replaced the clutch cable did it engage the clutch or was it a clutch basket issue
Probably could have used some wheel bearing grease instead of cable lube, I would think, or at least that is what I would do instead of running it dry.
Good luck getting grease inside a cable housing.
@@muddyfences5559 Use a greaee gun.
did you ever discover the true problem ?
Sam Bumanglag It turned out the clutch basket had developed grooves and needed to be replaced.
Muddy Fences thanks for your video and hopefully I won’t encounter anything similar with the clutch
Sam. I hope not. That is when things got expensive. Good luck.
Muddy Fences could you have filed the grooves down the on the basket to flat again I have seen that to work before.
Could a bad clutch cause for a hard clutch lever pull?
Absolutely. Remove the cable at the case and see if the cable moves freely. If not, it's in the clutch. Could be stuck plates or something else.
@@muddyfences5559 alright I removed the cable from the engine just like you said and sure enough the cable and perch move easily and smooth so I guess i need to replace my clutch basket? It's got 155 hours on the bike and it's a 2017 I thought it'd last longer than that.
@@paulpopp1999 That doesn't seem like a lot of hours. Is that year notorious for issues with the clutch plate?
I assume your fluid levels are good?
@@muddyfences5559 not sure, the springs and clutch disc's are all in spec but the basket has lots of ware on it so I'll be replacing that along with my actuator and pushrod.
11:46 , i would have said probably “Well, fuck”
