Hello,

I have been lurking on this forum for sometime now and have learned at a lot and now I need your help. I have messed something up during a Clutch adjustment. Since I was changing my primary oil it seemed like a good time to do a proper clutch adjustment. I followed the directions in my service manual and all seemed well. Except and I don't know if this matters, but when I turned the lock nut on the clutch adjuster screw the whole clutch assembly would turn with it. Also when went to adjust the free play in the cable I had to back the cable adjuster farther, almost its full travel. Did a short test drive it all function fine except the lever could only be pulled back about 3/4 of the way instead of all the to the grip.

Today I figured I would try again and see if I could it perfect. Each time I pulled the lever I seemed introduce more slack. Now I am at the point where I think I messed something up. The cable when it has the adjuster nut back all the way to point its actully off it still has a ton of free play the the lever wont even pull the clutch. When it could engaged I was dumb and squeezed the lever kinda hard to get it to touch the grip. Thats when I think truly broke it.

So what did I break? I hope this is a simple fix.

Please let me know what other information you need from me.

 

Came across this randomly... really curious what he might have done

 

Not likely he is going to tell us, since he has not been on the forum in 9 years....

 

Funny guy. Nobody replied back then either... again I assumed someone might have known the answer but this was just lost in the mix. I still get random responses from forums years ago.

 

OP screwed the adjuster in too far.

 

Couldn't happen from cable adjusted too ar out eh?

 

My mistake, clutch adjuster not screwed in far enough..
