Brian Masters 0 Posted April 14, 2014 Went out to meet up at the track today. Didn't get to ride due to motorcycle issues. 2013 TE 511 In Neutral, it can be pushed around like normal. it will start in any gear with the clutch pulled in, as soon as I start to let the clutch out it stalls. In gear with the engine off, clutch pulled in it'll roll an inch or two then the output shaft locks up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 917 Posted April 14, 2014 So you're saying it runs fine, just doesn't drive? When you let the clutch out and it stalls....is it stalling like the brakes are on? Does it start in neutral and run ok then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagstr 289 Posted April 14, 2014 Does the bike have a kick stand cut out?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaugh 1 Posted April 14, 2014 you may want to pull the clutch cover and inspect the clutch. It sounds like the problem is between the clutch and the primary side of the transmission if its "locking up" like you mentioned while in gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vacman 0 Posted April 14, 2014 Does the bike have a kick stand cut out?? This is what I was thinking too. Does it run and sound normal with the clutch in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted April 14, 2014 I once had a similar problem- clutch lever boot was pressing the kill button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Masters 0 Posted April 14, 2014 Yep, stalls like i'm standing on the back brake while trying to ride off. Runs and sounds normal with clutch pulled. No kickstand cutout... Primary side of the transmission is my guess. Dropping it off tomorrow... fingers crossed it isn't to expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ADV Bum 205 Posted April 15, 2014 Yep, stalls like i'm standing on the back brake while trying to ride off. Runs and sounds normal with clutch pulled. No kickstand cutout... Primary side of the transmission is my guess. Dropping it off tomorrow... fingers crossed it isn't to expensive. Doing a quick search, it seems there is a big problem with the huskies flaming out. CafeHusky/ Thumpertalk people seem to point at the FI or tuning. Have you remapped or added the JD tuner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't, though I bought it used I don't think the prior owner did such an upgrade. just tried something different... clicked it up into 5th gear pulled in the clutch and pushed, still wants to lock up forward, but did move (not easily) backward with a horrific grinding sound ... I'm guessing a mechanical issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikeslut 1 Posted April 23, 2014 That could be an issue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 561 Posted April 23, 2014 Having a screw loose seems to be a common issue for people...just not in the clutch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted April 23, 2014 That reminds me of a Husqy I borrowed a few years ago. It had about 1500 miles on it and the First day in the garage I had to tighten and torque just about every fastener on it. I never went internal but from the outside everything was loose.
