    wierd clutch 200s problem

    ok guys im gonna try to explain this...the clutch isnt slipping its more like a struggle at low rpms if that makes since...but another problem i have is you cant push start the bike it doesnt matter what gear or how fast we pull of push it...it the clutch wont hook up the wheels just freely turn(the bike runs fine we were just doing a experiment with push starting it) another thing is it doesnt seem to slow down when down shifting... i also noticed when i cut the bike off i hear something still spinning for about 5 seconds after i shut it of and then a click...this has me stumped because the clutch just doesnt seem to slip but something just doesnt seem right with it at low rpms anyone have this problem before? i have done clutched on 350x's and im comfortable with thoughs...but this will be my first centrifical clutch so any info will help thanks

    One-way bearing behind the centrifucal clutch is toast. My 225 had the same problem. It it not difficult to do this job on these engine.

    Ditto on Yamada's Diagnosis - I have a 200S that does the same thing - the free wheeling while trying to push start is a dead giveaway of the one way bearing being bad.
