Hello everyone,
This is my second post. I introduced myself to everyone last week, thank you for the welcome.
I have a 2005 Mastiff, I just bought about a week ago.
The very nice old country boy I bought it from still has a year of extended warrenty, (transferable) but since he has a good relationship w the dealer
(Winchester Va.) he put it in the shop to get everything looked over before I took her home. It turns out she had a cracked clutch plate.
After about a week a nd a half of trying to find a new clutch plate they finally recieved a whole clutch assembly costing the guy i bought bike from $450.00
I meet the seller at the dealer right after the clutch assembly was installed.
On the way home ofcourse I rode kinda hard to feel things out, and the clutch cable slips, leaving me with only about 50% clutch when I squeezed the clutch fully and put it in gear she was pulling a little bit, but I could get her home.
I called the dealler they gave me instructions on how to adjust the clutch cable (under that rubber boot where the clutch cable goes down the frame.)
I adjusted it, and everything was fine for about a week.
Tonight I went out for a ride and got into it pretty hard not nearly 100% or anything but pretty hard.
The freakin clutch cable sliped again and this time it went all the way out, NO CLUTCH AT ALL. So now I’m thinking I don’t have a tool kit yet (that’s another post) So I try to make it home about 10 Miles with no clutch. It would have been fine but I had to go through town where there are a lot of trafic lights.
I got stuck at a light and she stalled then I got it in neutral and I thought ok just kick it in gear and get home.
Well that didn’t work. I had to call my 70 year old nieghbor at 9:30 PM.
So he brings some tools and I get the clutch cable adjusted only now the damn thing wont get in gear. I guess I screwed something up trying to jam it in gear from dead stop w no clutch.
So here is the delema. I think the mechanic who installed the clutch didn’t tighten the cable at the clutch side of the cable, and that’s why I had to keep adjusting the clutch.
Well now things are really screwed up and it wont go in gear I probably did someseriouse damage to the tranny or something all becouse the mechanic didn’t tighten his end of the clutch cable.
What do you think I should do?
