wheres the clutch

I put a msr raptor on my 636 a couple weeks ago. I was trying to adjust how far the lever sticks out yesterday but couldnt get it to stay cuz it kept pullin the stop thingy in so i just took it out. on my way to work this morning i had the lever pulled in and felt something "give." now the clutch seems to stay in the friction zone. i used the cable adjuster and tightened it which seemed to help but wtf happened?

Re: wheres the clutch

cable clutch, am I correct? cable probably came apart. the more strands break the more it "gives"...

Re: wheres the clutch

thats what it felt like.....the cable snapping/coming apart. that would also seem the case since when i tightened up the cable adjuster, it seemed to engage again although it still felt weak. thing is, i can still see the clutch arm moving when i pull in the lever.

Re: wheres the clutch

it wasnt progressive. i was completely holding it in and then it just slipped into the friction zone.

if there were barnett clutch springs for a zx10 in there, could something have happened there? my clutch was hard as hell till i put the msr on it and my mechanic kept asking about the clutch springs.....how it was a popular mod on the 636.
