have you done this yet?

Adjusted my clutch today, was getting a bit slack at the lever. Getting toward the limits of adjustment at the assembly end. It otherwise works/feels fine, so simply just a new cable required, I assume?

(Sorry for thread hi-jack).

using anna & sids guide (good work people) but what is meant by turn the screw until it stops - have spent 2 hrs trying to adjust this thing some say stop and back off as soon as it tickles the rod at the back, others 'when it stops' i can keep turning it in with resistance for a while so do i keep going and effectively pushing the rod further in or is that too far? currently i cant get the clutch to disengage at all

Thanks

Turn the screw until it makes contact with the rod (light twiddling of the screwdriver between thumb and forefinger is sufficient) then back it off.

Well that does it - i've just cheesed the adjuster screw in my umpteenth attempt to get the clutch to disengage... it worked pretty much spot on this morning when i reassembled and all i did was detach the bottom bolt to add on the speedo sensor and from then it was all downhill...

previously clutch was either engaged / not and finding the balance was the trick, now for last couple hours i havent been able to disengage... have i stuck the plates somehow?

Anyone recommend how to source a new adjuster screw?

The weather is so nice and i'd booked the day off to go on the border patrol ride... boo hoo time for the pub i think

Mine was fudged before i got in there to adjust my clutch by the previous owner.... numpty! It was a particular pain though. It looked fine and i would loosen the locking nut with a socket over the whole thing and then use the adjustment screw, get it perfect. Then use the socket to tighten the nut back in to lock my adjustment right. Everytime I did this step it ruined it. After a while and purely by chance of what was at hand, I used an adjustable wrench to tighten it and found that the screw moved with it as it was seized to the threads meaning i would screw the adjuster to the right place and then turn the nut and the screw would go back in with it to the same place everytime!!!! so best to check that hasn't happened to you! It was chronic too, about 6 winds of threads had been flattened over to their side!

In the end I found a long bolt with the same thread and cut it to length and used a hacksaw to make flat head threads. Bosh, jobs a good'un.

Just wanted to say thanks for the guide at the beginning of this thread.

I have spent ages fiddling with the clutch adjustment today and have it just how I want it now. Just need to sort out the free play and all will be perfect.
