Clutch Adjustment
Having only ever replaced one clutch cable ever, on anything, what's the proper way to adjust an xtz cable.
I'm replacing the clutch leaver and currently the leaver adjuster is wound all the way out. My clutch disengages only at the very end of the range of movement, ie leaver all the way out. I'm GUESSING l have to adjust the cable at the bottom end away from the clutch/towards the leaver. Any tips appreciated or shared knowledge muchly appreciated. Thanks. |

If all the adjustment has been taken up at the lever, then you will have to adjust it at the clutch release arm.
It's always a good idea to screw in the adjuster at the lever all the way in (then back it off a turn) before you do anything at the clutch end of the cable. Set the correct amount of free play at the lever by adjusting the cable at the release arm on the engine case. Winding in the adjuster at the lever before setting the correct free play at the other end you will give you scope to make subsequent adjustments the easy way, without spanners, at the lever end. If you cannot get the correct free play, or you�ve completely run out of adjustment at both ends, then either the cable has stretched badly or the clutch plates are worn beyond their limit. |
