To properly adjust that clutch you
need to follow these instructions:
"1. Loosen the clutch cable at
the clutch lever so there is significant free play.
2. Follow the
clutch cable down to the left side of the engine case where the clutch
cable enters the side case and remove the access cover by removing the two
screws.
3. Loosen the locknut- the lock nut may be hard to break free
but it will come undone with a little force.
4. Using a phillips
screwdriver of the proper size, turn in the adjusting screw cockwise in
until it just touches the clutch rod. You may have to practice this a few
times to get the feel of where bottom is. NOTE: there is an O-ring on the
screw shaft which will cause some reisistance. Be sure the screw contacts
the push rod firmly but lightly.
5. Using the phillips screwdriver,
rotate the adjusting screw 3/16 to 1/4 turn out counterclockwise.
6.
Tighten the locknut while holding the adjusting screw in place using a
phillips screwdrver to be sure the adjusting screw does not turn in.
Caution: Do not operate the clutch lever until
the clutch mechanism adjustment is complete. Otherwise the steel balls
that are in the housing may disengage.
7. Readjust the
clutch lever free play at the handlebar so that there is 2-3 mm free
play." |
