i just purchased a slightly used custom chopper with an evo 1349cc crate motor and tranny and i would like to adjust the clutch but dont know how. the clutch perch has no adjuster on it. when stopped and in gear the bike likes to pull just a small tiny bit. i believe i can fix it by doing an adjustment. where are the adjustment points?

 

There should be an adjustment point in the middle of the cable. There will be a rubber sleeve covering it. Slide the sleeve down and there will be a barrel style adjuster with lock nut. Take 2 adjustable wrenches, hold the barrel adjuster with one and the lock nut with the other and loosen the lock nut. Adjust the barrel adjuster until you get the feel you are looking for and tighten the lock nut, slide the rubber boot back over. PAU (done)

 

well now i know i cant adjust it cause the cables are all run through the frame.

so there is no other way to adjust it?

 

you have to pull off the primary cover but you have got to get some slop in your clutch cable somehow
pull off the locking nut and adjust clutch pack with allen head wrench

i dont have an enclosed primary, it's a BDL open belt. how can i add slop with an open belt?

i could remove the clutch cable from the perch then remove it from the frame and re-attach it outside of the frame, adjust it, then run it back through the frame. that should do it.

right now the clutch lever MUST be pulled in 100% all the way against the handgrip. if it is even a pinch out the bike will pull.

 

i removed the cable from the perch and removed it from the frame and did the adjustment but it still wants to pull just a slight bit. any other adjustment points i can mess with?
