 Posted: 22:23 - 06 Jun 2009  Post subject: Tips for adjusting clutch properly |
 |
|
I can get mine to work, but I think I had mine set up without enough freeplay last time.
I /really/ prefer a sharp clutch, so it's a bit of a hard call for me, so I was wondering what you guys do?
Do you wind in the handlebar adjusters fully (loads of free play) and then do the lower under it seems tight ish. Or do you wind out the top one fully, set up the bottom and then wind up the free play?
I know I should just ride it around, but it always feels fine, I just don't trust it now (after the last 2 months drama of adjusting it in and out to stop the slipping, new clutch tomorrow  )

while were on the topic of cluch stuff, i have a quick question thats been niggling me for a while.
how long would the clutch plates last on average in a sports 6? and how would you know when it's on its way out apart from the obvious clutch slip when accelerating.

Oh and I meant tips for doing the cable properly. I think I exacerbated my clutch problems by over tightening the cable, so it was never fully engaged.
As I like to have a hair trigger clutch, this is a fine line.
The way I've done it now is to make sure the lifting arm moves a bit (~1mm travel furthest away from pivot) with just finger prodding. Is that going to suffice?

If you put the lever adjustment all the way in and adjust the bottom, if you ever need to adjust the clutch slightly one way you'll need to take the fairings off and adjust the bottom. |
Oh no, I got that. But on the CBR it's usually good for a long time anyway. (usually  )
But like I say, I think I had it set too tight last time, which meant the clutch was never fully engaged and therefore promoted more wear (the equivalent of weak/fubared springs). Want to avoid that now.
Oh well, road test in a bit, I've left that mm of movement and put the free play out a bit more, so hopefully that will be long lived even if it's not as sharp.

I'd already drained the old about half an hour before, but there didn't even seem to be a residue on some of them (at the top).
