No acceleration By trevcasey1 (Read 606 times)

Hi guys after having an oil leak onto the belt. I replaced the crankshaft seal and put everything back to original state and the bike won't accelerate, it's runs but won't pull off it just wants to die. I mean i can put my feet down and hold the bike there with full throttle and it just judders and dies. The original air filter is present. I'm usually pretty clued up with bikes but this has got me scratching my head... I'm sensing clutch problems but not sure hence the post. Please help. Thanks in advance

Is it possible that oil got inside the clutch assembly? If oil got on the clutch pads, they won’t be able to grip right and you won’t be going anywhere.

With oil getting on the belt, variator & clutch, you have to degrease everything really well or you will get get something or a couple of things slipping.

Thanks Solymar I found it now it was the bolt in the breather pipe lol everything's sorted now. Thank you for such valuable information it's much appreciated

The crank case needs to breath and having a bolt in the end of it the pressure obviously built up and was pushing oil out of the crank arm spindle and finding it's way to the belt,variator,clutch etc hence the no grip.
