Suzuki GT200 X5 Clutch problem

[kleensweeper]

Hi All, I'm a newbie here, seeking some advice on a problem that's occurred today with my X5's clutch. The bike is only ridden very occasionally & basically the clutch seems to have gone completely, yet the lever feels as it should. - After starting the bike & engaging gear it wasn't biting properly so I attempted to adjust it at the lever...following this it just went altogether!! Neutral warning light has also gone even thou bikes not in gear, not sure if this fault is connected or not?? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Burn it with fire!

I had an X5. It tried to kill me twice...











The problem is that the clutch plates are completely fucked.

Neutral light isn't really related. The switch is on the other side of the bike. The cause of the loss of neutral light is likely due to you not being able to find neutral due to you not knowing what gear you are in....

Sorry not selling any parts...bikes got 11 months t&t!!


Thanks Nobby, have definitely got bike into neutral yet still no warning light so presumably either a blown bulb or faulty switch I guess?? Have noticed bikes developed an oil leak from the clutch casing side too now!! Been searching on forum a bit & read someone had freed off their X5 clutch plates & replaced rods due to loss of clutch? wondering if oil leak could be from a rod seal?? -
Guess i'll just have have to get a few quotes now?!!

You've either failed to adjust the clutch correctly or the plates are worn.

when i got mine it has about 4 different custom made clutch rods stuck in the hole when there should be 2 of different lengths, so maybe you should check that out on yours.

Cheers for that...trouble is ive never worked on a bike engine or clutch before so wouldn't really know where to start... will probably invest in a Haynes manual 1st for fear of making things even worse...was very interesting reading about your own X5 by the way

I would check the worm drive as well, it's a cack design and can either come loose (lever returns but no clutch) or stick (pull clutch in and it stays in). Pushrods need to be correct length and in the right way round. The flat needle roller under the pusher piece must be in good nick as well.

Neutral issue is easily tracked down, if you ground the switch wire and the light comes on it's the switch. If not it's bulb or wiring.

Blau has an X5. I dumped mine at the side of the road because I got fed up with it trying to to kill me.

Thanks again for all the advice...just wish I was a little more confident to start delving further...don't suppose any of you live anywhere near Huddersfield?? - Only bought the bike around 6 wks ago to re-live my youth...never actually owned an X5 back then, but almost did, then changed my mind & bought an RD200 instead!! - Just love the smell & sound...takes me straight back to '82 & care free times

i knew nothing about them before delving in and sorting it out, wear gloves when messing with them as i got dermatitis from the oil.

Thanks Blau, Hull's not so far away should I get stuck after having a go with a manual...what spares have you got?? - Worst parts on mine are pitted fork stanchions & rust to tank along bottom edge...
