If you need a fire extinguisher to adjust a clutch cable then you should find a new hobby.

Hey Matt, Thanks for the video, did everything step by step, and my clutch on my VTX 1300 grabs exactly where I would like it to grab now, before it was grabbing all the way out towards the other end, no good. Thanks again, man very helpful 👍😁

I just replaced my clutch cable and followed this illustration but I find that I can put it in neutral without pulling the clutch leaver (is this proper)

Engine should warmed up to adjust free play? I have yamaha yz450f 2013. If i adjust free play on cold engine, all works good until engine warmed up. When its warmed up i have 2 times bigger free play and clutch dont work properly. So if i adjust on hot engine free play, like in your video, all works good, but when engine cooled down, i dont have any free play on lever. Its good, or i have problems with my clutch?

My Yz250f 2005 was running fine. I recently switched my front clutch and brake levers on my bike and it started acting up. When I pull in the clutch and I put it in First Gear, my bike starts moving forward while I am still holding in the clutch. What's the problem here and how can it be fixed?? PLEASE HELP

@MrCubcrazy 4 жыл бұрын

Too much slack in the cable. It might not seem like it at first but it is true. With bike off and in 1st gear, squeeze clutch and see if you can walk the bike fwd. If you cannot, keep taking slack out of the cable until you are able to walk the bike fwd. Then set your lever slack to recommended gap and you should be good to go. I swapped my clutch and brake levers last week and same thing happened to me. I didnt realize it was too loose right away because the bike acted normal at first.

@TSCtheTHC 6 жыл бұрын

adrian miller your clutch plates are going bad. Probably from improperly adjusted. What you describe is "power distribution ". One of clutches jobs is to evenly distribute the power. If it's wrong. Your motor slips.

@niro56 5 жыл бұрын

bad timing is the culprit then? Nowadays you have these mini wired cameras that you can put in the cylinder to see what's exactly not being delivered / how stuff is being delivered. check fuel delivery from the carb first, try to also start it without the air filter. Still doesn't start, we're dealing with something major like a worn camshaft? Although if the cam was worn the drive would've been erratic in general the last time it worked.. if you still keep that bike i suppose it was a good one, so why not keep it in running condition for the nostalgia.

Fire extinguisher, safety glasses and gloves. Really. Good thing you are just a mechanic. Riding motorcycles is dangerous. You must have a riding Bubble suit I hope.
