2008 king quad 450axi clutch problems auto

[roosterqt]

Hello people, my king quad has been jumping in to neutral while at slow speed engine braking if i blip the throttle it re-engages, my dealer cant see any problem when he opened it up, does anybody come across this, is there a sensor for the engine braking system, thanx....

Welcome to QUADCRAZY! Are you saying that the lever jumps into neutral, or it just starts slipping?

[roosterqt]

No its not the lever, its the engine braking part of the auto clutch, when you throttle on it doesnt slip either

Sorry ajmboy, thanks for the welcome and the reply....

I am just shooting in the dark here, but it seems like there is something wrong with the clutch shoe or maybe a loose belt is letting the tension off of the clutch causing it to disengage. Good luck.

i have a portuguese suzuki dealer and my portuguese is minimal, as is portuguese communication,but after 5 weeks of phone calls and little reply a new suzuki clutch is on its way,but thanks for the reply dirtdemon the belt sounds more likely due to the none slip when the throttle is on, only when gentle engine braking it gets worse ,,what does the clutch shoe do?

It is the internal part of the centrifugal clutch mechanism. In your case, shoe is mechanism with moving parts (themselves referred to as shoes in most centrifugal clutches) , that swing out when rpm's reach a certain point and engage the clutch.
