i just put a new clutch on my bike and everything seems to be how it is supposed to be... but for some reason when i go to hook up the clutch cable... everything is adjusted all the way out and there is still slack on the cable so the clutch wont disengage. I didn't have problems with the old clutch so wtf do i need to do different.

Towlieee

are you properly adjusting it AT the clutch cover, and at the clutch lever?


99.999% of these posts end up, 2 days later, the guy posting back up saying "figured it out, was adjusting hte clutch cable the wrong way"

drb929

yea... its adjusted all the way out at both ends and there is still slack.

the shift arm is not timed correctly u have to set it at the correct position b4 u put the clutch cover on

as a starting point I always put the lower engine adjustment about halfway, like set the nut at half the thread and tighten. Then with one finger pull the cluth in and begain adjusting the thread in( righty tighty) untill you have about a 1/8 inch or size of a nickel off slack. hope that makes sense.

drb929

yea...that does make alot of sense... the guy who i bought the bike from was putting it on and was originally putting it on and and broke the shift arm, chipped the corner off the cut in the bolt. so he ordered a new one but then called me last night and said that he has the clutch on but there is alot of slack. I guess he wants to take it to the shop and have them do it or something but i'll give him the the pointer. Thanks

on a side note did you ever figure out your overheating problem?

drb929

yea. I'm pretty sure i didn't hook something up right when i was fixing my bike a few months back. I did find a blown fuse for the radiator but i replaced the fuse and it still did not work. I imagine i'm just going to have to pay some motherfcker to fix the clutch and the radiator.


and on a side note... i think the shift arm isn't in the right place and that is causing the slack in the clutch cable. I htink this because while the guy who was putting the clutch on broke the shift arm trying to force it to go where it did not need to be.

Resort to your manual.. Pictures in those are worth a thousand words!
its your shift arm man dont give up.. just keep playing with it !

as for your radiator.. find a tech that will work off the clock and under the table!

I know the f4i in particular, you can only put the arm on 1 way.

drb929
