Big Mike NY Posted May 4, 2020 Report Posted May 4, 2020 I just installed a new pro taper clutch perch and lever with the adjustable star. Prior to that the clutch was setup perfectly. Now I cannot get the clutch adjusted properly, I cannot put it in gear without stalling the motor. I have a brand new clutch cable. Should I install the cable first and try to make the adjustments on the new perch or pull the clutch cover and adjust it from the pressure plate first? Quote
the boris Posted May 4, 2020 Report Posted May 4, 2020 So your clutch cable is loose? Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk Quote
the boris Posted May 4, 2020 Report Posted May 4, 2020 Just adjust it and it should fix the problem. Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk Quote

375hp banshees Posted May 5, 2020 Report Posted May 5, 2020 If it was fine before just @ the cable, should do it. Has it been sitting, could just be stuck plates if it was Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk Quote
Big Mike NY Posted May 5, 2020 Author Report Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) No it was absolutely perfect prior to the install of the new pro taper clutch perch and lever. After I installed that, I couldn’t get the adjustment right. No matter which way I adjusted the perch the bike would jump out of gear. So I order a new cable and Im going to install it tomorrow. If the adjustment is still out of wack then I’ll pull the clutch cover and adjust from the pressure plate.. Edited May 5, 2020 by Big Mike NY Quote
the boris Posted May 5, 2020 Report Posted May 5, 2020 From from the pressure plate?If the perch is all the way out and the cable is still lose than you will have to take the clutch cover off and do it that way. Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk 1 Quote
Big Mike NY Posted May 5, 2020 Author Report Posted May 5, 2020 Thank you guys I think it’s a combination of both, my clutch cable was worn and stretched and I need to adjust the nut on the pressure plate. Gonna do it after work tomorrow I’ll report back... Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted May 5, 2020 Report Posted May 5, 2020 Some aftermarket clutch perches require a cable housing spacer. And for the record, I completely disagree with that video. No reason not to adjust it by the manual. Unless shit in the case is worn out. 1 Quote

Big Mike NY Posted May 9, 2020 Author Report Posted May 9, 2020 Ok what the fuck..!! I installed a brand new clutch lever and perch, a brand new cable and I took off all the pressure plates and frictions and set them back, applied some oil and adjusted the slack adjuster. I put everything back together fluids etc and I cannot get this fucking thing into gear without it lurching forward and stalling! What is my motherfucking issue?? Please advise!? Quote
375hp banshees Posted May 9, 2020 Report Posted May 9, 2020 You inspect ball n rod? Gota pancake? Your Plates are probably stuck you can try n jack it up, drop in 1st gear & ride the brake while playing with clutch lever for a while ? Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk Quote
Big Mike NY Posted May 9, 2020 Author Report Posted May 9, 2020 The plates were stuck when I had it apart I gently pryed them with a plastic screw driver I unstuck them all and dropped a little oil in between. I thought that was my problem apparently not... Should I be focusing on the arrows lining up on the cases or is that bullshit? Quote
