All depending whether or not your pit bike is semi automatic or manual ,if it's manual then it's similar but it has less plates and usually you need a special castle nut socket to undo it .if it's semi auto it has a odd clutch actuator mechanism in the way with 3 balls n it you have to take off first.

SOURCE: i have a93 rm 250 clutch not engaging

I am going to stick my neck out here and hope I can help.
The springs are not at all likely to be the problem. Any chance the cable is hanging up and not releasing fully? Disconnect the cable at the gearbox, put the bike in gear with the motor not running and see if the motor puts a major drag on pushing the bike. If pushing the bike makes the wheel lock up or the engine turn over it tends to say the cable is bad.

It could be you were given the wrong hub. Compare the old hub to the new one. Do the various measurements match? Contact the dealers parts department and ask how many fiber and how many steel clutch plates are in your clutch. Did your 9 year old son play with a funny looking frisbie and leave it in the back yard?
Ask what plate goes into the clutch hub first > Fiber or steel? Did you install the plates that way? Did the outer clutch cap go on properly and rest against the outer plate? Do any of the fiber disks have a gap wider than the other disks?

Food for thought. I hope this helps.

SOURCE: i got a 1995 rm 250 that the gears are stuck.

Sorry to have to say this, you have a bent shift fork. The repair means taking the engine out of the frame then removing the top end, removing the flywheel and electrics, removing the clutch , shift mechanism and kick starter and a few other parts. THEN you are ready to split the gearbox to remove the crankshaft and then the bent shift fork. Next you get to put it all back together. This is a pretty big job for the home mechanic.

You will need an impact driver, flywheel puller, case splitter and torque wrench plus the normal screwdriver, pliers, etc.. Alternate to the special tools is taking it to the dealer and say "Fix it".
I normally tell people to take it to the shop just so they don't get into such an involved project.

SOURCE: 96 rm 250 clutch not working

Go to the site below where you can see a parts diagram for your specific bike. You will select the actual brand, year, model, etc., once you go to the site. Part numbers and prices are also shown. You can order parts from this site. In the event no price is shown on a particular part, the part is not in stock. www.babbittsonline.com/pages/parts/viewbybrandand/parts.aspx

Look at the clutch diagram on the Babbit's site. Chances are that the "E" ring #14 was not put on the clutch rack #13 that the pinion shaft #16 engages to pull the pressure plate #8 outward, disengaging the clutch. Without the E-ring the rack can fall inside the clutch and is unable to pull the clutch plates apart. This is likely to be where the problem is. By the way, look at the sequence all the parts are to be installed in. Does your clutch assembly match that sequence? Let me know what you find.

SOURCE: a fterI warm up my 01 rm 250 my bike don't start

Possibly the choke is getting stuck internally, Even thoug the leaver may be in the closed (normal) position, it may be sticking internally. Try removing the choke and cleaning the passage with some carb cleaner, then replace the lever. The bike could run with a partially cloged choke but would be tough to start when warm due to too much fuel. Another thing to check, when it is hard to start, just after kicking it over a few times, remove the spark plug and see if it is wet with gas. My guess is that's it's soaked. Good luck.

Im having trouble with my 2002 rm 250 clutchs... when i start to run the bike the cluth get like stuck or something and wildly releases at any moments and the bike runs off... its barely imposble to run...

  • A couple of things could be wrong. The clutch cable center wire could be frayed and catching up on the outer shell.
  • The clutch cable is bent or has been hit and crushed.
  • The outer and/or inner clutch hub is grooved and the friction plates are hanging up in the grooves.
  • You changed the gearbox oil and put in synthetic oil or an oil with "Special" additives. Synthetics can swell the cork on the friction plates and cause problems. Only use 10w40 motor oil in the gearbox.
  • A bad needle bearing at the pressure plate or on the shaft
  • The clutch was re-assembled incorrectly.

2001 suzuki rm 250-Clutch feels like it is grabbing to much only from a stop?, it's making a weird noise when the clutch is being disengauged and sometimes stalls. checked clutch plates and basket and...

I have the same bike doing the same thing, I think this problem is caused by running regular or synthetic motor oils intended for cars rather than using motorcycle specific 10- 40wt. Motorcycle specific oils have friction properties that support long life of the friction plates in your clutch, regular motor oils can cause your friction plates to heat up and glaze over. I think That's what gives you that grabby all or nothing feel when taking off from a stop.

Gear/clutch problem

does not seem like the waterpump. is the clutch set too loose?
usually in wire based clutches, if the clutch cable is set to be too loose, or if it is frayed, and needs replacement, the bike will jump and stall.
check that.
