Hi guys.

The clutch on my RXS has siezed due to it sitting up for a good few months. I am no stranger to working on clutches on my ZZR but I'm not really sure about the rxs100.

How would I go about unsiezing the clutch? the clutch cable is just stretching when I grab it.

I don't even know what side the clutch basket is on as the haynes manual is terrible. The clutch cable goes down into the engine at the side of the gear shifter and doesn't seem to have an adjuster for the cable at the engine.

Thank you for any help guys.

(p.s. whoever decided it's a good idea to use phillips head bolts for the engine is an idiot. Not to mention the person that has been in there before rounding them all off. Laughing )

EDIT: it seems the clutch is on the right hand side of the bike. I find it weird that the clutch cable enters the engine at the left side though?

You are shitting me?

Anyway, you need to take the left hand cover off first and check the worm drive that moves the pushrod isn't seized. If the plates were seized together you'd stil be able to pull the lever ok.


I'm not 100% as the workshop manual I found online (not the haynes I was initially looking at) is for an RX100 which is apparently practially the same bike but could be different.

I'm no stranger to working on clutches, but I only have experience with clutches with an adjuster at the engine and a clutch actuating rod. Like the ones found on zzr 600's, gpz 500s, CG125s etc.

I don't have old 2 stroke experience.

Thanks for the help. I'm 90% sure you have sussed the problem. Thumbs Up
