I bought an ex500 last week with an unusual problem. The bike starts straight up and sounds great it will easily rev upto 11000rpm in netural but the second I let the clutch out it just dies. There is no grinding sound, it just feels like someone hit the kill switch as soon as you let it out.
If I rev it really hard and try to dump the clutch I can feel the bike pull forward a little bit (1 foot). There is a loud poping sound when I do this. I first thought this was a carb problem so I cleaned them but still the same problem. I took the carbs of my working ex500 (I have two of these bikes) and put them on them on, still the same problem. When I pull in the clutch and kick it into first it fells like it is in gear, if I try to push it forward when it's off it rolls over like you would expect it too. I am now thinking that there is a problem with the transmission. Any one have any ideas?
Thanks
