After almost a year of restoration I finally rode the 1970 Fox Trail Tramp. Started 2nd pull but immediately felt drag and heard noise from 2-speed clutch. The clutch, big 2 speed gear, bearing inside big gear, small gears all NOS genuine parts. Chains are exact pitch length according to factory manual. The new clutch was missing the copper or bronze insert bushings that ride on crank shaft so I used the old ones. Other than that all new. Plus a member here sent me pics of a 2 speed setup right off an original Fox so pretty sure all clutch parts are correctly installed.
When you roll the bike clutch drags and makes moaning noise plus when engine running but sitting idle both sides of clutch are grabbing and moving bike. I almost lost bike a few times when starting clutches engaged immediately and bike lurched forward!
I didn't lube the clutch that much besides those bushing so not sure if it needs more lube?
Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
