markyb31 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 I put a new tusk clutch in and am following some of the other posts I have read about adjusting the clutch and am having some problems. I put the fibers and plates on (using 12, 3 ,6 etc pattern on plates) put pressure plate on torqued bolts to 7.5 ft lbs. before I did any adjustments to the clutch I tried to pull the lever in and it hardly moves. The pressure plate is not moving at all. The arrows on the clutch at the motor are about 1/2" apart (lever is more toward the right side not the stator side. I do not have time to get a manual(going out of town to ride thursday) Any help would be great. If you could point me to a post that covers this in depth that wound be good also. I searched the first 10 under clutch adjustments and could not find much specific to my problem. Quote

I searched the first 10 under clutch adjustments and could not find much specific to my problem. Anybody? I really need some help guys. I took the pressure plate back off, turned the cable all the way into the levr housing on the clutch lever so the two arrows lined up, put pressure plate back on and still nothing. Now it is to loose. If i turn the cable adjustment back out, I can not pull it back. Quote
markyb31 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Posted July 23, 2008 OK. I got on toomy's web site and found a clutch adjustment article. I turned the clutch cable all the way in loosened the screw in the middle of the pressure plate nut. Aligned the arrows and tightened the screw. I pulled the clutch in and the fucking lever with the arrow on it bent due to pressure. WTF? I'm lost. Quote

Did you take out the push rod and bearing? That arm with arrow that lines up with other arrow, repeat steps done before and hold that lever towards front of motor and adjust the screw that will line up the arrows then tighten nut . Sorry, not real good at explaining somethings. Quote
