My 99 gear changes are slick and problem free and almost like having an ,"Automatic" gearbox

Well..... Brand new overpriced worm drive fitted everything adjusted and still not working. Exact same problems as first post

So what now, pull clutch plates out or?

Gave up for today as chucking down and got soaked.

Are the threads in the Clutch lever assembly end OK ?

Yes all is as it should be, not sure wether to pull clutch plates out or not. Bike had been stood since easter (but had oil change etc last week) so not sure if plates could of stuck together that quickly? and if so would that give the problems im having (see post 1) anyway too wet to try today but missed my mot date now anyway

Thanks for taking the time to read my confused ramblings.

It'a bugging me as I hate not being able to fix stuff. I suppose they could have stuck but it usually takes a long time for clutch plates to bond when left :/

Was the clutch and cable OK before ?

Yeah new cable and clutch plates and steels less than 400 miles ago and now new worm drive. I also get frustrated when i can't fix things but im doing everything ive always done and its not working grrrr. As i said in post 1 it all works for a few gear changes then stops and needs re-adjusting i'm losing my sense of humour quickly

Found this for you,

I use blue thread-lock on the adjuster nut on the shifter/worm nut.

They have some @ Halfords if you need some,

Thanks had a look still not whats happening. I have even tightened both ends of cable and marked them and the two bolts to check for loosening or movement and nothing not a single millimetre of movement....

I'm out of ideas unless there's a fault inside the clutch itself. Years ago on one of my Hondas I got the plate order wrong and it made things funky as some of the plates had to go in specific positions even tho' they looked similar :/

[Geodude]

Yeah, me too. Strange how it's just gone weird. Put away fine and working well and after a short rest it's gone daft, bike and me
