P500 Clutch may be shot

[Talen]

So this morning I started her up. And it was not idling right. Very sporadic. So I took the quad instead for day. When I got home I tried it again. Seemed ok when on gas and moving. But then sporadic when stopped. Then I realized it was hesitating I think because the clutch was engaging too much. Loosened the clutch adjustment. No more funky idle. But now I can't get the clutch adjusted to were it won't slip during shifts. Have a bad feeling some how the clutch was froze. And now maybe damaged. Ugh. Gonna try adjusting again this week. If I can't get it. Guess it will be going to the shop. Every thing can be fixed with money. Haha. Boo

That doesn't sound good. How many miles/hours do you have on it? Mine still idles funny... It goes up and down slightly. Not a lot, but it is noticeable. I adjusted my clutch after the first oil change because it seemed to slip a lot during shifts. It only slips a little bit now. Seems just right to me.

Let us know how it works out Talen....hopefully it's something simple....

What kind of oil are you using? If its not honda oil, is it jaso ma rated for use with a wet clutch?

About 700 Miles. It may be a result of the swamping it a month ago. Did 6 oil changes. Idk

Yea, I use honda.

Finally got it adjusted correctly again. Hopefully all is fine

I'm sure it'll be fine..... Come on it's a Honda... After I adjusted mine it shifts much smoother, snicks into next gear both ways much better now.

You'll be gtg
