bansheechas Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 I was riding around the yard today and after I was done riding, I noticed the clutch was really easy to pull in, it has about 1 inch of free travel before there is any kind of resistance. Also the clutch wasn't engaging. I was fine when i was riding it, even felt like it grabbed pretty good and didn't have any travel then. I am not sure I am pulling the clutch cover friday when I'm off school and ill get pictures up here. Also I know the cable isn't stretched because it pullies the little swing thing (sorry i don't know what things are called yet) on top of the transmission more forward stator side. I just changed the oil and put 1500 cm3 of DEX/MERC ford atf in it if that effected the clutch in any way. Any input would be appreciated thanks Quote
#1JUANstunna Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 Check the adjustment at the case, then adjust the free play out of the cable. Just because the cable pulls the clutch arm doesn't mean it's not stretched. That's why there is an adjustment on the clutch perk. Quote
bansheechas Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Posted October 6, 2011 How do you adjust it at the case? on the arm? Ill take a look at it i should get it but i adjusted it all the way tight at the lever and it didn't seem to help much. Quote

Ill take a look at it i should get it but i adjusted it all the way tight at the lever and it didn't seem to help much. Drain your coolant and oil and pull your clutch cover. the clutch adjustment bolt is in the center of the clutch. Check out the walkthrough in my signature for pics... Quote
bansheechas Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Posted October 9, 2011 That video is very helpful. I noticed my clutch starts to get pressure when the two little arrows on the cable lever arm thing and crankcase are lined up when the "slack" is pulled. So when the lever is all the way out, the arrows don't line up. When you pull the lever there's about 3-4 inches of "free play" in the lever then right when the arrows line up, the clutch gets pressure and will pull. So my question is, to me it seems like the clutch is adjusted, the cable is stretched? Correct me if I'm wrong i got my fluidsdraindd ready to pull the cover, just watched the video and noticed that Quote
jlsparky7 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Sounds like it might just be out of adjustment. If you adjust it at the clutch basket and pull the slack out through the handlebar adjustment and there is still too much play then your cable must be stretched.... Quote
bansheechas Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Posted October 9, 2011 Alrighty I have all day tomorrow to pull the cover and check it out. Ill get pictures up too. I have my paycheck but with me being in school its not much so I want to make sure I have money to replace the correct part if needed. Thanks for the help Quote
bansheechas Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Posted October 9, 2011 So I got it all pulled apart, seems as if my clutch was out of adjustment. That video was very helpful. I appreciate all the help! Cant wait to get riding again, Im just glad she is ready for the snow...... Quote
