DMAN94 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 well i just put a new clutch in. i need some advice. in the center of the basket you have a threaded rod with a phillips head and nut on it, the other side has a ball bearing. this is the final adjustment before i put the case cover back on. in the manual it says to line up the arrow on your case with the point on that lever (under left carb were cable connects), when i do what it says i then have to adjust the perch (adjuster) all the way out before the clutch will even grab (or have pressure on the lever). is it ok to adjust this threaded rod so that it works in the lever, and still have adjustment in the perch? i have it set up where i have almost all my available adjustment on my perch. i just wanted some feedback before i put it back together, didn't want to take it apart again. also in the manaul it says to torgue the spring bolts to 7.2 ft pounds, i had broke 2 bolts torgue'ing them back in. has anyone had this problem? should i torgue them to different spec with aftermarket clutch and springs? this is an ebc clutch kit also. thanks dennis Quote
1000dollabill Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 this might sound dumb, but are you pushing the lever on the case with your finger or just expecting it to line up on it's own. take the cable off the perch and push it with your finger till it lines up. Quote
fastbanshee4u Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 Adjust your clutch lever so you have the adjuster about 3/4 of the way in. Now loosen the adjuster at the basket,screw the phillips screwin until snug now tighten the lock nut. Does your clutch feel right now,if so install the side case.Always have a little play at the lever,so you do not burn up your plates. The screws do break quit easily and often on the basket. Quote
DMAN94 Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Posted October 18, 2005 it doesn't sound dumb, thats what i did at first, (per manual, even said it) it just left me with no adjustment at the perch. it was all the way out. i will double check the 3/4 adjustment. i think that is where i am now. some play at the perch, but will have plenty of adjustment. doing it by the book wasn't working so i just wanted some feedback before i went ahead and ran it. what are they using, low grade bolts. at least i know it wasn't something i was doing wrong. thanks allot guys for all your help on this matter dennis Quote
