Clutch adjustment - hot or cold? - SV650.org

PyroUK · 12-10-13, 10:38 AM

First, I can't find the link to Anna's post for the adjustment, can anyone furnish me with a link?

Last, should the adjusting be done war or cold? I am going to be using a mates garage so by the time I get there the bike will be up to temp, should I wait and let it cool first or do it while it's warm?

I'm thinking while warm as that is when I am getting the issues.

Cheers

preferably cold but wont matter. if you need to make an adjustment afterwords you can always do it at the lever.

The temperature does make a difference - sometimes a very big difference - so adjust cold only.

It can be done hot but this must be taken account of in the specifics of the adjustment, the posts on this forum detail the process for adjustment when cold.

Will have to wait till I have a bit more time on my hands then to do it cold.
