1985 kx250, clutch problems

(1/3) > >>

Hello I'm new to the site, I have an 85 kx 250, was out riding it this weekend and my clutch stopped engaging, had no problems shifting, but I couldn't clutch to use the back brake or stop the bike. The cable was still connected the are that works the clutch, but that arm wouldn't grab anything, I could just spin it, I tool it out but have no idea what it does on the inside of the crank case, I don't know much about this bike it was given to me by a friend, I'm assuming I need to split the crank case to fix this, but would like some input as to what to expect when I do it. I will try and attach a pic of the arm I'm talking about.

I would take off the clutch side cover and see what condition the clutch actuation arm is in.  It goes from the lever you are holding to the other side to activate the clutch in the center.  If the bike would still move, but you can't get the clutch to work, it sounds like you've lost the connection that spreads it apart.  You would not have to split the cases to fix the issue with your clutch, but I would recommend using an OEM parts fiche on rockymountainatvmc.com or a similar site so you can see what it's supposed to look like.  Take pictures of your progress, and please feel free to ask more questions.  We'll try to be better about answering them.   :-D
