Clutch Adjustment

[troyminator]

I know that there are allot of post to go over clutch adjustment problems

 

Clutch Mechanism Adjustment , WTF!!! was one with allot of useful tips...but I still need help.

 

I fried my last clutch. Here is the post about this: High RPM Clutch Slipping

 

Now I got new fibers and steel plates.

- I soaked them in oil for >30mins

- I installed them into the basket (Started with friction plate, then steel plate, etc etc)

- I put the pushrod into the clutch hub opening (with a dab of lithuim grease on both ends)

- I placed the ball into the hub opening

- Next, I Put the the clutch inner hub onto the clutch basket. (The little arrow on the hub is lined up with the arror on the basket)

- I carefully tigtened all of the bolts with the springs (1/4 turn at a time)

- I loosed the clutch cable all the way to the perch...I tried doing it with the cable out, but I wanted to be able to pull on it with the clutch lever.

- I tried to push little metal lever on the top of the clutch case (Is it always so hard to push? Had to almost pry it with a screw driver to get enough leverage )

- I tried to adjust the center adjustment bolt to get the arrows to line up with the metal lever and case arrow, but I am pretty much all the way in, almost have no threads left for the lock nut. Something doesn't seem right ???

 

What am I doing wrong? I don't have the rubber cushions on the clutch. I just tightened the spring bolts until they were at 10 N-m. For one, I think I am going to need a new adjustment bolt...my current one is beginning to strip (Damn Phillips head! )

 

Please help. I don't want to burn up another clutch!

 

Thanks!
