2024 Clutch dragging

[Yzmaico]

I traded a 2023 390 Beta on a new 2024 700 Tenere. 
No Dealers near me wanted to trade the Beta so I ended up trading 200 miles from home.

 

The Tenere has always had a bad clutch drag and will not go into neutral at a traffic light.

I have installed a Camel arm on the clutch, no help.

I have tried different oils, no help.

 

I have friends with Tenere 700’s that don’t do this.

I realize the bike is under warranty but kinda dread taking the bike to a Dealer.

 

Anyone have this problem? Should I throw a clutch in it?

You could try adjusting the clutch lever, if that fails take it to the dealer.

There have been a few people with this problem and dealers replaced their clutches under warranty. If you don't want to mess with a dealer then just order up a OEM clutch pack kit. It will have everything you need. (Clutch, springs, and gasket).

Welcome to the forum. Searching Clutch everywhere turned up a number of threads, this one below being most pertinent to your question.   Feeling your reluctance to take your bike to a dealer, but since some 2024 models appear to exhibit this issue, you will probably be less likely out of pocket financially if you let Yamaha cover it.

@AZJW- you do such a great job at herding, thank you, just saying

You either have too much freeplay, or you have sticky plates.

 

If free play is correct, sticky plates it is.

 

The camel 1 finger would have made it worse if the plates were sticky as this increases the leverage, causing less movement on the arm itself.
