Yz125 clutch is loose?

[purcell1]

just bought my bike, and i havnt had it started yet as i am waiting on my new cylinder. But i noticed my clutch cable was very sloppy and loose, also burnt from the exhaust. So i went and bought a new one and installed it. 

The sloppyness is still there? When you pull the lever in, it's very easy (no spring tension). So when i look down at the clutch shaft? where the cable hooks on, it pulls the arm as it should, but it doesnt return well. You almost have to self return the lever. 

 

If i just replace the little spring on the clutch arm, will this solve the problem? Or may i be looking at a whole new issue? 

I have yet to get the clutch cover off, as i just put brand new gear oil in, so i was hoping to leave it until i get the bike started up first. 

 

Any help is appreciated.

I'd check the springs on the clutch itself

so i just got in from the garage. I pulled the clutch cover, and clutch springs, pushrod, and all the discs. Everythings looks mint. No grooves in the basket, discs are in great shape, and the springs looks new. 

Put it all back together, same thing. Super loose feeling lever...

Reklused?

Sorry I don't follow?

Rekluse makes a few different auto-clutches, one model which has an extremely easy clutch pull, the z-start. Perhaps your bike came with it.

Did you ever figure this out? Having the same issue now

Read the manual!

Check the clutch pull arm is adjusted correctly with the marks on the case.
