clutch problem

[argentum40]

Bit stuck here lads and cant for th elife of me work out what the problem is..

Basically i have just changed the clutch on the Bandit and it wont disengage..its constantly driving and when pulling the clutch lever it is very hard to pull...

have you any ideas lads?

Sounds like you didn't put it back together properly. Did you move anything on the actuator side? I assume it's a hydraulic clutch actuator?

cable clutch on the 600 i think alan and does sound like its not been put back together correctly

er i must own up to being a clot... it was put together properly BUT i failed to notice i had left one of the old clutch plates in so it had 9 cork plates instead of 8

stripped it back out and after erm erm noticing my mistake i sored that out and then had no drive

however i knew what that was and adjusted the pushrod again... sorted and jobs a goodun

Pays to be methodical when rebuilding engines. Well done.

By this we learn that doing it once slowly is a lot quicker than doing it three times quickly and so next time we do it quickly by doing it slowly. Do it once, do it right
