clutch problems too

[Lord Farquaad]

decided not to hijack bennys thread about clutches:

My clutch is actually a little suss too (actually, its quite suss). I think its gotta be from doing something wrong when putting it back together, coz my lever is now tighter than it used to be, even after playing with the adjustment. It slips about the same as benny's, from abou 8k, unless i wind the adjsutment in all the way, then itll only slip under pretty much full throttle, over 10k. Anyone got any ideas? its coming apart in the next few days, so i'll have a good look then.

Im sure it something i've done though-maybe springs might be dodgy from pulling them on/off? The bike wants to move forward with the clutch in, in gear, and its worse when its hot

When you rebuilt it did you replace anything/everything/nothing......

Hmm.. Mine started doing that recently. Going to get the mechanic to take a look at it at it's 12,000k service soon. If it's still all up in the air then, I'll relay the results but so far I've just been told to tighten the clutch. Haven't noticed it after, but I wasn't looking to notice it so that's pretty useless to you.

replaced nothing on the clutch, only took it off to get at the oil pump chain behind it

Do you still have that problem with the lever not budging from 1st to N?

[Lord Farquaad]

yeh, thats part of the clutch problem, it doesnt seem to be disengaging properly

[druu]

I guess the best thing to do would be disassemble it again and check against a break away diagram, possibly in the workshop manual?

[Lord Farquaad]

thats the plan, the workshop manual has a pretty good pic- only problem is that the clutch has a wierd nut on it, kinda has 4 holes that prongs go into- hard to explain

[druu]

Is it the one at the bottom of the page on 10-5 in the manual?

[Lord Farquaad]

no, its the one at the top of page 10-0, the one that says 6.0-7.0kg/m
