KlotzBanshee Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 Loosen the adjustment on the clutch perch, push in the actuator arm under the left carb with your finger until it meets resistance, then adjust the adjuster screw on the pressure plate so that the spot where the arm meets the resistance is lined up with the arrows on the arm and the case. Tighten the jam nut and take up the rest of the cable slack with the perch adjustment leaving a very small amount of play on the clutch lever. Hope that makes sense, kinda hard to explain without showing pics. Quote

KlotzBanshee Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 any adjustment of the lever should be done on the perch, if you adjust it as far as it will go and is still like that then you may need a new cable as its probably streched. Quote
official_style Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Posted April 17, 2009 i can get it so it grabs at like half a pull, but then it has a ton of slack in the lever. Quote
official_style Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Posted April 17, 2009 I can get it so there is no slack in the clutch lever, but when I do this, the clutch grabs right before the lever is let all the way out. Quote
