Here's a 2 part clutch assembly vid

 

[CammyRacing]

This is what I'm working on today! I've been fighting with that damn lockwasher though. What tool did you use to bend it?

 

[jlsparky7]

To take the washer off i used a flat head screwdriver and a hammer. Then to put it back on i used a mini crowbar then a pair of channel locks. Lemme know how it goes!

 

[CammyRacing]

Lockwasher is good now. I have everything on but the cluch plates have a lot of play to them. Shouldn't those not move around after installing the pressure plate?

 

[jlsparky7]

Sounds like the pressure plate is on wrong. Did you line up the marking stamped into the pressure plate up with the marking on the clutch basket?

 

[CammyRacing]

Yup I alined it up with the marks. I think I just realized my mistake though. Think I stacked the plates in there wrong....my bad.

 

[jlsparky7]

Doh! Thatll do it! Glad u figured it out

i think this is the clutch arm..how much 'play' should it have,or maybe i need to know how much does it supposed to rotate forward to engage the clutch?..1/2" ?...1" ?

the clutch arm will have play in it when the clutch cable is disconnected.


so long as the arrow on the arm and the case line up when the clutch is adjusted, it will be good to go!

 

[slickerthanyou]

Not sure i understand your question. Are you looking for how to properly do the internal adjustment?

ok so with the clutch cable connected and the clutch lever squeezed ,the arrow on the clutch arm will pass the arrow on the motor?by how much,..i ask because,on my old motor, i think i tightened it too much last time.and tore the crap out of it.bent the arm and i think something broke inside.

 

[brandoz28]

not sure how far it travels, just adjust the cable so that you have a little slack when you pull on it.


have you had the clutch apart? have you re-adjusted it for any reason?

 

[2k1blastr]

when I bought the bike,the clutch cable was said to be stretched,so I go buy a new cable,hook it up and tried to adjust up at the lever on the bars,had the cable adjusting bolt all the way out almost,only a couple of threads left and it still didnt engage the clutch all the way,when I had finished the adjusting there was no play what so ever.lever nor arm..so test drive down the street,squeeze the clutch and coast for a sec and bad noise,no go.switch gears with foot,no go.I look at the clutch arm and its bent over backwards toward the back tires..push home.

Now I think the clutch was about gone before I bought it.
I have a new motor Im putting on now,will rebuild the one that came with the bike.

No problem bro!

 

[1meanblaster]

Do you put the clutch springs on first before u adjust it or after?

 

[jlsparky7]

Springs first my man...
