Well I bought a YZ125G a while back and absolutely love it. The bike really runs well.
When I first got it the kicker would jam and lock up some times. I found that the bottom gear was missing the shims on each side of it and letting it move. I disassembled the clutch and fixed the kicker gear problem.
I put the bike back together while looking at the diagram and basicly just put it together in reverse order. Everything bolted up fine and looked ok. I filled it up with oil, turned the kicker over a few times and thought I got this one ready to go. This morning I was going to take it out for a ride and reached up to pull the clutch in and their is absolutely nothing there, no resistance at all. I know I put the rod back in that pushes on the pressure plate so I'm not sure what I could of screwed up?

When I bought the bike the guy told me he had just put a new clutch basket in the bike. When I was taking it apart I noticed some of the washers and spacers didn't look factory and when looking at the parts diagram some were in the wrong place or not there at all. I ordered everything on the parts diagram and attempted to put it back together as the service manual shows and I could get all slack at the lever or rock hard no in between.
I'm embarassed to say I have found the culprit after 4 hours today. I finally looked at the manual and noticed it shows 5 fibers and I have 6. Somehow he had it rigged up and working with an extra steel and fiber plate. I took them out and now it's working perfect.
I'm going to go ahead and order a new set of plates just to make sure I have the correct ones in there. These things could be out of anything.
