Aloha all! have a 94' RM 125. have problem with the clutch not disengaging. Have see the other posts regarding this & tried all the suggestions but to no avail. new Hinson clutch basket/plates/springs, new pressure plate/thrust bearing/rack/pinion gear/all bearings/seals/cable. Using 10/40 as per manual specs. Soaked plates for a day before install. What I notice when pulling in the lever (Moose Racing perch/lever also new) that the arm to the pinion gear on the cover doesn't turn quite enough as opposed to if I grab the arm & turn it with a pair of pliers. Any suggestions on what I could do to make it turn farther as I think that would solve this problem.
Bought this bike in non-op condition (seized piston) & while repairing that one thing led to another & I ended up doing a pretty complete (& expensive) frame up rebuild/resto on it. It runs & rides great but not being able to come to a stop & idle in gear is making it not fun to ride. Adjusting the cable with the spec free play or without any doesn't make a difference. tried moving the arm closer to the kickstarter to try & get more movement which didn't help either.
Talked to the local dealer mechanics & they were of no help basically telling me that's something I gotta live with. Have owned a bunch of other 2t dirtbikes (mostly yz's) but first suzuki. Read many posts on a bunch of other sites & have pretty much all the same suggestions but no cure for this problem.
If any of you have a way to be able to get more rotation out of the pinion arm I'm all ears. Mahalo in advance for any & all replies on how I might do this.
