My 50v clutch sticks and makes the motor stall when I stop. I pull the clutch off and sandpaper everything and it’s good for awhile but it will happen again. I’m not sure if it’s the starter clutch or the main clutch. Thoughts? Thanks

Re: Motobecane clutch sticking
When you say you cleaned up everything does that mean you are also pulling the back off the variator? I would say get it 100% apart and give everything a good look. You should be able see if anything is messed up. And make sure you grease all of the guts when you reassemble.
Re: Motobecane clutch sticking
Usually it's the starter clutch springs/shoes, did you check those?
Re: Motobecane clutch sticking
The starter clutch looks good and the springs aren’t broken. I even took about half the material off the main clutch shoes and it still sticks. I’m really confused.
Re: Motobecane clutch sticking
Replace this oring and the starter clutch springs. The springs could be weak or the grease could be causing the starter shoes to stick to the bell.

I was in a hurry this morning and didn’t really look that great. I forgot to take out the grease fitting before pulling the clutch again too, dang it! Anyway, the starter shoes were stuck and I broke off 3 of the screws holding the assembly to the clutch bell, double dang it! Wish me luck getting those out. Thanks

Re: Motobecane clutch sticking
Oem cs screws are a non standard thread pitch. M4 with a 0.75 metric thread pitch. The standard is 0.70 metric thread pitch. You know the French.
Re: Motobecane clutch sticking
I’m in the same situation, fortunately only broke 1 of them. That tap is $125. at Grainger but you can get one on Amazon and a suitable pilot drill for under $20.
Canceled that order, thanks for the above link Garelli Master (edited)
