Re: Clutch Problems on Brand New CRF450X

I would think that the only way to burn one up that quickly would be to
have had the adjustment too tight. I suspect that the clutch adjuster
on the basket was mal-adjusted. OF

There is no adjuster at the basket.There is an adjsuter at each end
the cable. Regardless of the age of the bike, the owner should know
how to check for freeplay (or lack of) since a clutch can, and will
tighten up causing the clutch to burn up.

In the owners manual, it goes through a pre-ride check list. Checking
cable free play is part of every pre-ride list.
