Guest Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 So I replaced the clutch lever on my GPZ500s this morning (it got broken a couple of weeks back when some idiots decided it'd be fun to push my bike over ) I thought I'd done it ok however I've obviously done something wrong because the lever adjuster now doesn't work properly. It won't click through smoothly from 1 to 5 - I normally have it set on 5. Am worried I've done something really stupid and the clutch isn't going to work properly. Any ideas what it might be and what I need to do?! PS Other than replacing the mirror which also got damaged and was just 2 bolts this is the first twiddling I've done to my bike so feel free to ridicule me if its something obvious!! I'd be v grateful if anyone has any ideas of what I might try no matter how obvious they seem to you!! Many thanks. I've attached some pics of what I did if that helps!

Tango Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I take it that you push the lever forwards slightly before trying to adjust it? Have you got enough free play on the lever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fro Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 +1 for Tango's suggestion.Did you use an OEM or pattern part and did you give it a good lubing before you chucked it back together again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Doh. Yup that works. I hafta now push the lever forwards to use the adjuster. Before I changed the lever over it would click through without me wiggling anything!!!See I knew it would be something totally obvious and stupid.But yaay....at least its not something I've broken!!! Thanks for the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
