zx14 clutch pressure plate issue
10/04/16 10:49 AM

Hello everyone I have been a long time lurker of your website and finally decided to sign up!

I have a bit of a different situation. I am in the process of building a T-Rex reverse trike replica kit. It is coming along nicely and I have equipped it with the zx14 engine from a donor bike (which I did not hear run before I bought it). I have gotten it running, idling all is well. So at this point Im pumped. take it out for its first test ride last night, I get 1/8 mile down the road and it just starts coasting (as if I have the clutch in). I tow it home and upon inspection of the clutch it appears that the first 2 plates have come out from behind the fingers on the basket. I pull it apart reassemble as it should be and it does the same thing again.

My question is...what is making the first 2 plates come out? are the pressure plate springs not holding enough tension to keep everything in? Could I be missing a plate? It does not look like its been tampered with but the engine is from a 2008 zx14 and has been sitting for at least 4 years.

Thank you in advance for any advice!

Make sure your clutch pack is assembled properly and that your slave cylinder is not hanging up.
