XR250R Clutch Adjustment

I think I need to adjust my clutch cable.

The clutch itself should be fine as the plates in there are new (1 month's use).

It can be an absolute git to find neutral once the bike is warmed up and also when selecting first gear it can jerk forward and stall when cold.

It's a real pain being stuck half way up a muddy slope and not being able to find neutral to kickstart the thing.

So I'm guessing I need to adjust it near the clutch and not the lever. Which way would I need to turn the adjuster nuts?

Cheers.

you need to make the outer cable 'longer' so turn the nuts to make the outer go up, anticlockwise i think Thumbs Up

Cheers

I know this isnt entirely helpful but my xr250r will kickstart in gear if the clutch is in. mind you, its an 86 model and if yours is newer then it may not be the same.give it a try

Wire it so the bike thinks it's always in neutral. Wink
