R1 4xv - Clutch Problem?

Discussion in 'Other Bikes' started by yev, Aug 28, 2015.

  1. rolled out my r1 today and looks like something wrong with the clutch. if you stick it in gear with ignition off and pull the clutch it doesn't roll. if you turn ignition on and stick it in to first it stalls, but fine on paddock stand with rear wheel in the air spinning. I've adjusted clutch cable but it doesn't cure the problem. any ideas?
    bike sat for a while. not used.
     
  2. Sounds like the clutch plates are stuck together.

    I've had this happen to my 1098 with an open clutch cover after washing it. The water caused the steel plates to rust and stick the whole thing together. Obviously this doesn't apply with the R1 wet clutch but the symtoms sound exactly the same.

    The nearest I've come iwith a wet clutch, is with putting the wrong oil in my MV Agusta F4, The clutch playes didn't like it at all and it never disengaged correctly after that.
