sm610 clutch problem

ever since i had my 610 i've had this issue with the clutch that i've just lived with but as winter's almost here i'm thinking of opening her up and having a look. basically when i first set off on the bike i can get up and down the gears no problem, the clutch is totally fine, but the warmer the bike gets it feels like the clutch engages less, even with the lever all the way back to the bar - the shifting gets quite notchy.

sound familiar to anyone?

cheers

I had the same problem as you. A guy told me that the problem could be due to warp steel disc. Then I ordered a set of steel disc and friction disc from Barnett to give it a try. After a month of using it, I can say that the feeling of "clutch disengage lesser as the bike warm up" is still there. But it is much lesser than before. As a lot of people is saying that it is a characteristic of SM610, I just have to live with it.

Cool! That'll do for me cheers dude

My 610 clutch drags a bit too.

2006 with 7k miles.

It's good to know it's not just mine. Sounds like a 'feature' of the bike. Thanks guys, mind at rest

i have installed honda 600 clutch plates and fixed my clutch problems and saved heaps clutch pack is about 1 mm thicker which i think is a good thing

so yours was doing a similar thing before and the honda plates have stopped it? sounds good...

Honda 600 what clutch plates? I'd love to try the same thing.

This has been mystifying me for a few days now. Glad to read this. It's been cold lately here in SoCal and mine has been slightly dragging in first.

I have finally solved the clutch disenage lesser when hot issue of my sm610. It is due to a bent shaft assembly. Can give it a try.

sounds good dude. how much was the replacement part? did you get from husky sport?

Can't remember the price. I got it from Hallscycle.
