Yamaha YTM 200L Clutches not working right

[timex69]

hey
I put the clutches back in my Yamaha 200L the other night, and it worked right for a few minutes then after a while I noticed them slipping more and more and now i cant even get it to move when its in gear. Would this be the primary or secondary clutch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Would the type of oil I use cause them to slip. How do you tell if the primary or secondairy is worn?

Did you use oil with no friction modifiers???

is your clutch screw adjuster set right? maybe the nut backed off after a little riding.

burnoutboy: I dont know what oil I used, it was just cheap 10W30 from the local service station. Is their some kinds that cause clutch slippage in an ATV


Yamahauler: Im trying to narrow this down to if its my clutches that are shot or the adjuster itself because when I back the nut off and grab onto the adjuster threads with my hands I can pull/push it a quarter of an inch either way and i dont think I should be able to move the adjuster like that.


Let me know

Sound like the Adjustment for the Auto Clutch.
