clutch problems?
so here's the story. I put on an aftermarket master cylinder on the front brakes. Big mistake. Driving down the road the brakes locked on me. Since then, if I'm going around 60 and give it some gas, it almost feels like the clutch is slipping i little, but it still picks up speed. What's the best way to figure out if i damaged the clutch while driving down the road with the brakes on? Or is there anything else that could have got damaged?
Anyways, all of you be careful with cheap master cylinders. Turns out the release valve in it wasn't working, so it was always holding a little pressure.

nope, not the brakes dragging, and i don't even know for sure if it's the clutch. just doesn't feel right... can anyone give me a little more info or a site that walks you through the clutch adjustment? the cable adjuster is as far as i've ever gone with the clutch.

I saw a vidio on You Tube from 'Fixmyhog' on how to do a complete adjustment of the clutch. Do a search and you should be able to find it. You really just loosen the cable, back off the adjuster inside the dearby cover, turn the adjuster in until it touches then back it out 1/2 turn. Tighten the nut. Readjust the cable up front and that's it. The video will help a lot.
