by all means do so, but remember to grease the gear linkage as without it you'll have problems.

Cheers Mark.

Any other info that you need?

Is this a case of removing the front cog cover and checking there? Or is there more to it?

Thanks in advance,

No, the clutch is on the right hand side of the bike (Brake lever side)

OK checked everything (and got soaked in the process - why do things break when it's raining?). Everything appears to be free. I adjusted the cable at the engine end and all seems well now.

The thing I am worried about is why would it do this? I can understand having to make the cable sleeve longer when th ecable stretches, but making it shorter isn't something I was expecting. Can I expect more expense at a later date, or is this somewhat normal?

TIA

Stu

common misconception is that the clutch is adjusted with the cable

WRONG

as posted already, the clutch adjustment is under the front sprocket cover, it is NOT a cable adjustment

there is screw & locknut adjustment that adjusts the clutch

the cable adjustment does not adjust the clutch on either end it adjusts the cable

there should be no need to touch the clutch or cable adjustments between routine minor service every 3500-4000 miles
