- Fixing a clutch that won't disengage on a 2008 YZ85.
This is typical in the spring or after sitting for any length of time. Also contaminated oil or not pre soaking the clutch pack before putting in new friction discs.

Fixed my problem. Very helpful simple instructions. Thank you so much. The yamabog will be running again in a few days.
awesome
You’re the man. I’ll let you know if this works.
So I am A 57-year-old woman grew up on dirt bikes, and I have a Yamaha Enduro on off-road. It’s a bigger bike than that one for sure how many pounds am I going to be cranking on those bolts to tighten them back up and how do you measure pounds when you’re tightening some thing up? I’m trying to fix this without getting my brother involved.
Bolts are 7-11 ft lbs of torque, you'd measure that with a torque wrench. Its not a lot and is real easy to overtighten and break something as most of the threads in there are just into aluminum.
Thank you for the video. This helped me, specially lining up the marks for the clutch. My KTM 990 Adventure has the same marks. 👍👍👍👍👍
Great to hear!
nice video 👍🏻 except that oil looks like a milkshake 😅
Yes, you are right. I can only recommend repairs, in the end its up to the owner to decide if they want to replace things. The water pump shaft in this case is badly pitted so we put in a new seal but it wont last long before coolant leaks into the case again.
07 yz85, simimlar problem will click into gear but will die if the revs arent kept above idle. and bike does not roll in gear while clutch is pulled in
The wrong oil can cause sticking. That bel-ray hypoid gear saver helps but it’s expensive.
What viscosity?
Thanks bro this is gonna get my 88 husky build done this weekend ready to rip!
what a perfect oil drain , never would have thought of it lmfao!
Glad you like it ;)
Good informative video, I’m a subscriber now. This is the information the people need 👍👍
Thanks John ! Glad you enjoyed it.
am i crazy or does that oil look like it has water in it mayby the waterpump seals broke and the clutch didnt get proper lubrication
Seals were recently replaced but youre right the oil is definately contaminated so it looks like the shaft itself may be the issue.
My ktm 85 has been laid up for awhile and I needed to get my carburetor cleaned as the jets got clogged and was a bog noise when reving . So now that's sorted I took it for a spin and basically when I put it into first gear it conks as soon as I leve out the clutch but yet when I run with it kick it to second it goes perfectly. Plz help 😢
Havent done a ktm 85 yet, but the procedure should be basically the same as in this video. Those clutch plates dont like sitting for long periods.
Once I got to the point. Something about it sitting in too long and it's a causing it to stick cause mine's brand new. I didn't file it but most likely. That's what it was and you should almost say that in the beginning a few key things that might impact what's going on and that might keep people on. Your video a little longer. They know that that's exactly what it is or if it's relatively close. I could tell right off the jump by what you were talking about. Is exact same thing that minds doing and it's most. Likely Because it's set for so long
Thanks for watching
I should proof read my comments or Samsung needs fix auto correct.
@@ELIMINATI_canislupusofnap samsung autocorrect has always been ... interesting.
I have the exact problem with my yz85. Thank you so much for this video. I will try to do this with my bike!
Good luck with it !
@@SchnebsGarage It worked! thank you soooo much
@@shhh-bz1zu Glad to hear !
what was the problem before?
Great video‼️ You're the Mann👍👍
Needing to replace the clutch arm seal on a 2006 YZ85.....Does the clutch need removed to get the clutch arm to lift up out of the left side case?
No, you don't need to remove the clutch for this job. The push rod that goes from the lever through the clutch will be under tension so you will have to open the right side cover and just take out the 5 bolts to relieve pressure to get that rod back in. Hope this helps.
I put in five different ways and could understand why my kids 85 had no clutch. Know I understand what I did wrong after much aggravation. Thanks for this video!
Glad it helped!
Pretty sure mine is the same, but stuck due to lack of use, maybe I should of cable tied the clutch lever into the release position when I park it up for any length of time.
Thanks. I just got a cr125 that’s been sitting a few years and this got them freed up!
Glad I could help
So I have a 01 80 that I just did a full motor rebuild/restore and when I put in the clutches and the plate with the springs the cliches move around without the cluch pulled or even when it’s unhooked I added another clutch and when installed it would hit the inside of the cluch cover
Eny help?
@@alstonasby5883 possible you dont have the pressure plate splines aligned. So the clutches will end up spaced away about 1/8" and never fully engage clutch. Its kind of tricky to put that clutch pack in there and occasionally it'll pop off the last clutch plate. Also there's a washer/spacer between the clutch pressure plate and the outer hub sometimes that'll drop down during assembly and jam things up.
I havent done an 01 yz80 but most likely they have timing marks like the 85's and have to be assembled right. 8:28 in the video explains how to line up the cover.
hope you know that some bikes have 2 different type of discs that go on the outside of the clutch pack
Would stuck clutch plates make it where you have to rev up really high to take off so it doesn't die.
Not really, they pretty much stick solid or work fine. Sounds like you have a bogging issue with a dirty carb, bad gas or bad spark plug. Those kind of issues most likely.
Check your combustion pressure... Mine got same problem.. end up my valve chip a little.. causing combustion leak
My son has a 1993 kx80 and it’s doing the same thing
Awesome video, why didn't you just lay the bike on its side?
And can you clean the clutch pack in coca cola (i've seen a guy do that) and isn't it better to clean then in brake cleaner (would it damage the glue?)
Sorry for so many questions
Laying it over didn't help. In this case the oil wouldn't have got in between the plates since they were stuck together. Sometimes you just gotta rip something apart.
@@SchnebsGarage i was saying that you can lay it down so you don't have to drain the oil
@@hardendurobosnia17 gotcha. But then I'd have to work on it on my knees or bent over...thats for young guys lol. I got a $400 bike lift so I can save my back not a half liter of oil ;)
@@SchnebsGarage makes sense 🙂
Yes laying it on its side after you drain the oil is by far the best way to do it
Thanks that might help me out with my 1988 dt50 with the similar problem
Glad to help, good luck with your dt50
@@SchnebsGarage thank you if I have any other questions I'll try to get back with you. Not to tech savvy but I'll try thanks again
Then fix the clutch issue thanks so much again my 15-year-old son Mark says thank you too.! I ride the z900 RS right beside the little 50. LOL we have fun
That fixed rather
@@torque-aholic5039 Awesome, you and Mark are very welcome, happy riding!
The gear oil I’m using is the 80wt
Book says 10-30 or 10-40 motor oil but I know a lot of folks use 80wt and have no problems. I suspect the problem in this one was a bad water pump seal and coolant got in there during the winter which caused the plates to stick together.
Thanks, isn't there a gasket replacement though?
Yes, on my own stuff I'd never re-use a gasket but I don't own this machine so I can only recommend. In this case they didn't want to put much money into it at this time.
I'd say the gasket must be replaced 😊
Maybe they didnt soak em in oil long enough before first instal?
Normally that would have been my guess as well except this clutch had run the previous summer no problem
thanks works like a dream
Glad to hear that
At the end of the video when it started to bog out when he got in first that is what’s wrong with mine is that from the user or the bike
User 100%, letting the clutch out too fast or not maintaining enough throttle.
Ok so pretty much mine doesn’t start to move when letting off the clutch while giving it throttle and if I do end up getting into 1st it bogs when I get it into 1st gear I think because of the friction but I’m not sure
@@Dylan.99 Well there's a few things other than the driver that could cause that, dirty carb, especially this time of year when you first take the bike outta storage. Fouled spark plug would be my second guess, just because well 2 strokes. After that you get a little more technical, CDI box and coil etc. I'd start with the first 2 since they're cheap and easy.
@@SchnebsGarage ok thank you
What oil can I use to soak the plates in while changing the clutch?
The 'correct' oil is yamaha brand but its just 10w30 in that thing NOT transmission fluid as some whackos on here will try to tell ya.
@@SchnebsGarage so use regular 10w30 motor oil ? Or
@@danielmirra1261 yessir
thanks man, the moment at 2.16. what should you expect if the clutch plates were fine.
It only takes 1 to stick to lock it up pretty good. If they are truly fine then the ridges that get cut into the basket can cause a clutch to stick. Other than that stretched cable or adjustment tends to be a common problem.
My bike was fine until I changed the oil today, now when i put it in first with clutch all the way in it stalls, is that the same problem as this one?
Sounds a lot like the same issue. But I'm curious why an oil change would cause it.
My2001 yz80 I just rebuild the bottem end and when I pull in the clutch and shift and let the clutch out it dosnt move it try’s to and it does move a little bit but dosnt move far eny tips?
First thing I'd check is the cable adjustment, make sure its got some slack in it. If that fails you may have to make sure you put the cap on the clutch pack right. The yz's need to be lined up right. Look at th-cam.com/video/xQHSW4ziXwM/w-d-xo.html in the video above I show how to do this.
Thank you so much I'm going to try this, I have had the same issue on my 08 yz85 and took the whole thing apart realizing it could be this, but this is my first bike
Good luck!
I have a 2015 Honda Grom with a very similar problem. I bought it in February of 2021 and used the bike until May since my wedding was in August and i got busy. I then left the bike stored up until December 2021 and when i tried putting it into first gear it would just stall. The clutch isn’t disengaging so i think i want to try this out
Fingers crossed!
did it help?
I am motr concerned on the milky oil colo
0p00
Water pump shaft is corroded, leading to a bad seal. Was fixed at a later date. Unfortunately you can only fix what the owner wants done at the time.
Nice video Meat. Where's Archie Bunker..?
Lol, what?
Just earned you a new sub
Thanks for subbing
@@SchnebsGarage Your welcome thanks for the info
Could this be the problem on my yz80 when it’s in neutral it moves good but when I’m gear I hold clutch but it stays stuck?
First thing I'd check is a stretched or out of adjustment clutch cable. If thats all OK then I'd definately pull the clutch pack, its a relatively common issue especially for bikes that have sat for a while.
@@SchnebsGarage ok thank you
@@SchnebsGarage so what do you do? I opened it up and put it back in and it’s still doing it I didn’t see anything weird
@@jltsvlogs1837 In this case we had several clutch discs that were simply stuck together. Most likely whoever installed the clutch prior didnt soak em. Fresh oil and a little soak later put it all back together, problem solved.
Awesome video well explained unlike other videos
Thanks! Glad to help.
Good video but no gasket no
I agree Adam, but not my machine, kids across the road didn't want to spend the money on gaskets. Can only do what I can. Thanks for watchin!
Hey i have a question i put my clutch pack back together and my first gear is neutral. I’m trying to figure out how to fix that and get it back to normal lol please reply i need help
That's a new one. Clutch really shouldn't have anything to do with the shifting. You may have to pull off the side cover and look at the shift shaft. There are some small springs and ratchet mechanism there that can get jammed by debris.
Thanks. I appreciate the reply I’ll try again & again till i get it corrected. I appreciate your videos and the reply 💪🏽🙏🏽
@@Spliff409 good luck with it, let us know what ya find.
I most definitely will thanks again.
Ok so i fixed the issue. Nothing was wrong with my fears lol. I bought a new gear shifter and i put it on too low smh so it was shifting down to neutral and it wouldn’t go past to go to first gear. Thanks for your help and reply i appreciate you as always
Can you lay the bike on the other side so you don’t have to drain oil
I suppose you could, but I see this an a good time to change oil since I'm in there anyway.
@@SchnebsGarage yeah well it’s really unfortunate for me because only a couple days ago I changed oil and I don’t really want to go to the store haha
@@tylercotugno8387 LOL I get that.
Very helpful thank you
Glad it was helpful!
10/30? Automotive engine oil?
Well there's your problem...
Use Bel-Ray Gear Saver Transmission Oil
Or another brand oil made for wet clutches.
Thanks for sharing
will this work on a yz250?
Depending on the year they're very similar design, 90% of these clutches are.
i did what you did and nothing has changed. the clutch cover barely moves when i pull clutch in
@@nailaibai8089 If there is no slack in your cable and the cover is barely moving it sounds more like a problem with the lever and mechanism, not stuck clutch plates.
@@SchnebsGarage yes there is no slack in the cable it operates normal. although i’ll play with the lever and see what happens thanks!
@@SchnebsGarage and what mechanism are you talking about?
