Ok, maybe I am a knucklehead, but I wanted to adjust my clutch according to the manual, and it talks about 1-3mm of free play on the clutch handle. There is no free play on my handle, I can make a gap, but only by squeezing the lever, adjusting the upper screw a few turns either way does the same thing. I thought free play was just that, it moves without any effort. I don't have to squeeze hard on the handle to get a gap, but I do have to squeeze it. Can someone explain this to me? Thanks guys.

The easiest way to check it is to pull the outer cable away from the clutch lever. There should be a little bit of free play, about 2-3mm. If there isn't any free play then you will wear out the clutch actuating parts, and if there is too much then you are not fully releasing the clutch.

For the last couple of rides, my clutch has been acting up. Its impossible to go from 1st to 2nd with one click, it always takes 2. There seems to be dead spots between some of the high gears, meaning that I was in like 4th or 5th gear, try to downshift one or 2 gears and I feel it slip out of gear, but the neutral light doesn't come on. I let the clutch out slow as I come a red light and nothing happens. It also seems to slip out of gear on its own. Finding neutral is very tough also. Do I just need some adjustment on a cable? or something more costly?

thanks Captains

detent if he lets clutch out and nothing happens?

yes you will need the spring, the clutch nut, and the clutch cover gasket.

And just so everyone knows the UPDATE kit price has gone up to over 1200.00 bucks
