Bike walks when clutch is disengaged

[Outlaw]

Have '01 Husky that walks when you are stopped. Adjusted clutch and still wants to pulled with clutch disengaged. Also hard to find neutral when stopped. Seems to shift fine otherwise. Any suggestions?

You either don't have the clutch rod adjusted enough or you have some warped
steel plates in the clutch or pack height is not correct. I would try turning the adjuster rod a 1/4 to 1/2 turn in more so it pushes the clutch out more to release, it that doesn't help, pull the clutch pack and check for warped steel plates, also check the stack height for your brand. If it is stock it is most likely a Rivera Pro clutch, go to Rivera web sight they have a lot of good info. Clutch pack height should be 1.394" to 1.425".

this will probably be a matter of playing with how far you back out the adjustment of the clutch rod. book says 1/4 turn after you lightly touch bottom, but that can vary. work with it and maybe it will get better.

Clutch hub nut is a strong possibility with dog wanting to walk forward.

Little trick on finding neutral ;
Hit the throttle and she'll fall into neutral with ease :2thumbs:

I agree with echoniner111. Check the clutch hub nut.

How tight does this clutch hub nut need to be...turn till it doesn't turn because mine is walking also and when I down shift second and first sound awful with the clutch engaged

After you install the clutch assembly, tighten the clutch hub nut to 150 ft. pounds. This will ensure that the mainshaft is seated in the bearing just in case the maishaft moved. Remove the clutch hub nut, clean it, apply red loctite, and final tighten to 100 ft. lbs. DO NOT final tighten more than 100 ft. lbs because it could cause the threads to stretch. You will be good to go.
