Due to knee injuries and subsequent surgeries I have decided to sell my dirt bike. I had been planning to completely refurbish this bike, but it now looks as though I won't be using it. The bike is a mixed bag. It was getting a bit tired and the plastics look awful, but mechanically it has had...

The adjustment on the lever seems to have been the problem. The video was a big help. It is still dragging do I don't know if I need to bleed it more or if something else is the issue. The gearbox oil has been drained out for some time. I'm getting other parts of the bike together and coming...

Thank you! This may very well be my problem. Mine was adjusted in until the top of the allen socket was flush with the locknut. I'll check this first thing when I get in the garage. (after I start the heater) I do appreciate the input.

Thanx! I'll give it a go. I wondered about the lever being adjusted out to far and not letting the piston return. I'm going to back it out some tomorrow and see if it helps. I'm not getting any fluid to come down out of the reservoir.

Still having trouble. I'm getting nowhere with this clutch! I have tried using a brake bleeder and the level of fluid in the reservoir never goes down. :confused:. I got a rebuild kit from Hall's and I have installed that. I still can't fluid to go down from the reservoir. I have gotten a few...

I picked up a brake bleeder today. I used to have one that worked nicely. It was lost in a fire. It's one of those pistol grip vacuum pump affairs with a reservoir to catch the fluid. I'll try it tomorrow. I tried cracking the fitting on the master at the lever while pulling the lever. Then...

DOT 4 is what I understand to be correct.

Thanx! Sounds like it could work. I'll give it a try tomorrow. :)

Hi folks, my 2004 EC200 has what I assume is the same hydraulically actuated clutch that they all have. I had the line off while the engine was out of the frame. Now I want to bleed it and I can't get it to move any fluid. I poured DOT 4 in to the reservoir on the handlebars and with the banjo...

That sounds great John! I'll have to take you up on that.

Thanx guys. John, are you still riding your Husky? John, the trails sound nice. It's a long haul up there for me, but it is a nice club and I like the folks. I'm not sure how much riding my circumstances will allow for, but I'm hoping to do a lot.

Update I'm making some headway with the old bike. I'm finding that I just don't have the time and money to do as thorough of a fix up as I would like to so I'm mostly doing a clean up and check over. I am finding that overall things are in better shape than I had feared. I am finding the odds...

Thanx Thank you for the responses. One of the previous owners of this bike was a suspension specialist. He is a good friend of mine and I found out that he recently rebuilt the suspension. I need to find out what else has been done before I totally tear it apart. I've been too busy working the...

Hi All, I have posted very little on this forum. My name had been Scootskipper, but now I'm Bulgas, which feels like a much better fit. :rolleyes: I've got this old 200 that I picked up cheap. It was a runner and I rode it a few times and determined two things: I really like this bike and find...

More pics This is the bike as I was introduced to it. It's about to become much cleaner now. http://www.flickr.com/photos/44360173@N03/sets/72157633171909605/
