david5757 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Yesterday i ordered some new shorty levers, after installing them everything seemed fine so i took the bike for a ride when i found out I could not put the bike in 2nd gear. I checked the clutch slack but everything seems okay? Anyone who knows more about this and could help me? Verstuurd vanaf mijn ONEPLUS A3003 met Tapatalk Quote
ThePhatomfart Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Hi David, if everything was working fine before the clutch levers it should still be, ease off the adjustment at the lever and at the clutch end and try the re-adjustment again Quote
david5757 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Posted March 26, 2017 Im sorry I dont fully understand since im not a native english speaker, do you mean i should re adjust the levers? I already tried to loosen the cable and tighten it but no positive results whatsoever Verstuurd vanaf mijn ONEPLUS A3003 met Tapatalk Quote
ThePhatomfart Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 You've got to undo both ends of the cable, get some slack and start again Quote
Stocky Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Sounds to me that the new levers aren't pulling as much cable as the originals Quote

Stu Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 move that adjuster on the lever to number 6 first and see if you get more pull Quote
david5757 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Posted March 26, 2017 Already screwed him alle the way in and out, didnt help Verstuurd vanaf mijn ONEPLUS A3003 met Tapatalk Quote
iangaryprice Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Put the origianl lever back on and check it works well.Measure how far the cable moves at the gearbox end when the lever is pulled.Hold a rule against it while someone else operates the lever.Put your new lever on again. Measure how far the cable moves when the lever is pulled in.If th emovemnt is less with the new lever, it is not suitableDoes the lever move all the way back to the handlebar?ON you rphotgraph it looks like it may hit the switchgear.

Classickid21 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 I have these and simular problems its adjustment, dose your gear box have now have clunky gear box ? Can i please get you to get a picture of the spring on the guvnor arm mine i i had to clip back on seems to move quite freely Quote
Joeman Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 turn the dial to 6, then adjust out all the slack in the cable. if that doesnt work, the levers arent suitable as they dont have enough pull. Quote
david5757 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Posted March 26, 2017 turn the dial to 6, then adjust out all the slack in the cable. if that doesnt work, the levers arent suitable as they dont have enough pull.Do you mean turning the adjuster al the way down? Then adjusting the slack near the shifter? Verstuurd vanaf mijn ONEPLUS A3003 met Tapatalk Quote

Then adjusting the slack near the shifter? You need to adjust everything so that when you pull the clutch lever, the cable is pulled as far as possible.So, turn the dial on the new lever so that the lever is furthest away from the handle bar, then turn the cable adjusters counterclockwise so there is very little slack in the cable.
