Just wondering if I was to build a bumper lift for the front wheel of my 250cc (YY250T-2 or MC-13-250) touring scooter weight close to 400#. And if it was to break down how far could it be pull (if Possible) by the back wheel or would the engine be cranking due to the drive belt at a speed of 50mph or less  |

You will be turning the drive belt and clutch at that speed,and the engine--the centrifugal clutch will engage,I think--let me know if you try it--good luck,fflintstone

I agree. I know from experience when my bike was stalling that the clutch will remain engaged until very low speeds.
The only way to keep the engine from turning is to remove the belt.

No, it will not the CLUTCH ASSEMBELY consists of the PULLEY and the CLUTCH. In order for the clutch pads to be thrown out the PULLEY has to be turning to spin the clutch WHICH IN TURN GRABS the bell WHICH then turns your wheel. So you can put you scoot on the center stand with the wheel off the ground and spin the tire as fast as you want the only thing that will be turning is the BELL BUT NOT THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLEY.

Alleyoop You are right. I misremembered a bit. My clutch was already engaged when my motor quit. If engaged, it will stay locked until the rpms drop. But yes if the clutch has not yet engaged, spinning the rear wheel wont be enough to engage it. |
