Wheel spinning when clutch is pulled in...
Hey folks, I may show some ignorance here with this question, but I've picked a few brains about this before and no-one seems to know the answer...
Basically, the problem I have with my bike is that sometimes (not always), when I have the bike up on the stand to oil the chain, I pull in the clutch, put it in gear, and the wheel starts spinning straight off, while I still have the clutch pulled in. This comes and goes, sometimes it happens, other times not. I've tightened up the clutch cable as far as I can, yet this problem keeps coming around, and this is the second bike it's been happening on.
I now have a V-Strom 650 bought new a while ago, the last bike was an XT600, and the same thing has happened on both bikes. I consider myself a pretty able rider, but I'm not a mechanic, but still I'm wondering is this something I'm doing to cause it.
I've spoken to a few people about it, one being a University Mechanics Professor with a love of bikes, and it's stumped everyone. And again it's the second bike it's happening with.
Anyone have this problem before at all, or hear of solutions??
Cheers in advance for any help on this!
Mick
