SEBanshee Posted December 21, 2007 Report Posted December 21, 2007 I got my engine all put back together (split cases), and the clutch installed. I connected the clutch cable to the clutch release lever, and tightened it up at the clutch lever. When I pull the clutch in, there is absolutely no resistance. The engine is currently in gear, and I tried spinning the sprocket with my hand with the clutch pulled in, and I couldn't turn it. Before I would have been able too. I'm thinking its an adjustment, but I dont know what. If anyone has information at all, or any ideas I would be very happy. Thanks. Quote

The little screw in the middle of the clutch boss you turn it in or out untill the clutch arm (where the cable connects on the engine) lines up with the little arrow mark on the cases. Quote

Also did you pre soak the discs in oil before installing? Quote
RUDEDAWG Posted December 21, 2007 Report Posted December 21, 2007 You didn't forget or loose the clutch rod or ball that goes from the adjustment lever to the clutch adjustment screw in the center of the clutch boss did you? :biggrin: Quote
SEBanshee Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Posted December 22, 2007 The lever is about a millimeter or so away from being lined up from the arrow. I'll adjust it tomarrow, and hopefully it will all work out. And Yes, I oiled all the disks before I installed them, and no, I didn't forget the ball or the rod, haha. Everything is there. Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it. Quote
SEBanshee Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Posted December 22, 2007 I adjusted that little screw until I could pull the clutch lever and watch the pressure plate move in and out as I pulled it. But, thats all its doing. with the clutch pulled in I can grab the flywheel and turn it, and watch the sprocket spin. So, I'm kinda at a loss again. Any ideas? Quote
91banshee Posted December 22, 2007 Report Posted December 22, 2007 what do you mean no resistance ? pulls to the bar liek a broke cable feel? did you install the ball bearing back in the trans shaft with the clutch rod? Quote

Yes, thats what it felt like, but I fixed that with adjusting that little screw. And yes I installed the ball and rod. Quote

Any ideas? there is enough resistance between the clutch fibers and steels that you will transmit that motion from the flywheel thru to the countershaft sprocket even with the clutch pulled in. Place the bike in neutral and turn the flywheel while holding the countershaft sprocket. you should be able to hold the CS Sprocket still while the flywheel is being turned. Now place the bike in 1st Gear. When you turn the flywheel, the CS sprocket will now turn as you try to hold it. for the next one you would probably need a 2nd person or a zip tie or something holding the clutch in. Bike in 1st Gear, turn the flywheel with clutch pulled in. CS sprocket will turn, but you should be able to stop it with light pressure from your toe or some other body part you can stick in there.

I was actually beginning to think about it like that. I actually ended up calling a buddy, and he basically said the same thing you did. So, that makes me feel a lot better. Thanks for the help you guys. I really appreciate it. Quote
