Guest Swagman Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Does it spin faster in higher gear at tick over I'd you change up Only tried it in gear 1 so far. I’ll try going up gears next time. Ordered new plates anyway plus oil and new filter. Don’t forget gaskets . Quote
Husci Posted July 19, 2020 Author Posted July 19, 2020 When doing the clutch plates. I will need to disengage the clutch cable. Can this be done by just loosening the nuts on the right of the picture? Or will I need to loosen it at the clutch lever? Thanks In advance Quote
Marino Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 It looks to me you are missing clutch release spring, at least I don’t see it on your photo. Quote

TimR Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 To me looks like the clutch cable has been overadjusted and is placing pressure on the clutch causing it to slip .Loosen the cable off at lever adjuster fullyThen wind it back out a few turns (3or4).Then loosen the nuts on the engine adjuster and undo the nuts allowing the cable to loosen fully .Once loose begin to retighten the nut to apply tension on the cable constantly checking the clutch lever and you're aiming to have approx 5mm of free play on clutch lever( where you pull it and it doesn't move the cable/ have pressure ) Once you have this tighten the other nut against the bracket and you can fine tune on the cable adjuster Quote
Husci Posted July 20, 2020 Author Posted July 20, 2020 I’ve just received my plates. There are only friction plates in the box. I’m assuming this is normal and I re use the old steel plates or Should I be ordering a set of new steel plates? Thanks Quote
Old-codger Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 Yes thats usual practice just check your steel plates are flat oh and soak the new plates in oil for an hour or so before you fit them. Check your springs are within tolerance to and when doing up the spring retaining bolts be careful its only a low torque figure do not snap them. Quote
