Clutch adjustment question

[warp9.9]

no problem Pete just remember the object here is to not have the lifter shaft and lifter piece in pressure contact with each other when not enguaging the clutch. This will prolonge the life of both pieces and the life of the clutch disc components especially in the high gears where wear can happen easier do to slipage . You can also feel the freeplay or distance to contact at the lifter shaft crank arm (by hand no wrench) to insure there is free play if needed.

the easiest way to check the clutch free play first with out pulling on the clutch lever


Thanks for the info Warp. One other question though. When you pull out on the cable to measure the gap will the lever on the other end of the cable at the engine move or stay still?

love the patina on the mirror stem

Bill



now grab the cable and pullit out to measure the gap between the ferrel and the adjuster nut



note the gap distance and adjust to the 2-3 mm free play
Hope this helps
