TO ALL the Bike Guru's....LOOK AT ME!!!!

[Rev]

Can I adjust my stock clutch lever to come in more so my fingers don't extend much on it. I asked else where and they said they make an after market lever which comes in more but it cost like 100 bux and i don't wanna spend anymore money. If I adjust the stock clutch lever, someone said I can burn the clutch faster...Anyone have suggestions, yall mostly know my situation with my left wrist...

thanks

just use the barrel adjuster and loosen it up, just be sure that when the lever is fully compressed the clutch is actually fully engaged. if its only partially engaged, it will still aid in shifting the trans but the clutch will be continually slipping while engaged. thus wearing down the friction plates quicker.

yeah i know i want them too but i keep tellingmyself that they are not worth it at all. although i would get the shorties

What 600rrpilot said is 100% right but backwards(sorry dude). You want to loosen the lock nut and turn the adjuster in so there is more slack. When you do this you have to make sure the clutch fully disengages. There will be more freeplay in the lever. Start it, clutch in, put it in gear, if it starts to drag the bike forward, you need less freeplay in the lever. As long as there is freeplay(slack) when the lever is all the way out, it will be fully engaged.

wow thanks im gonna try it

[duc748pilot]

whats backwards? if the cable isnt tight enough to fully engage the clutch during shifts the plates will slip. i beleive our ideas of a clutch be engaged vs disengaged are opposite. lol.

[CBRBob]

Right, when you squeeze the lever to the bar, the clutch is DISengaged. If the freeplay is excessive, you will never fully disengage it. If you have zero freeplay(or tension on the cable) you will have a partially disengaged clutch even when the lever is all the way out.

crap..hey bob are you going to suspension day..maybe you can show me how to adjust my stick so i can squeeze it just right...thanx

Yea, spend a lot of money for bling when you dont need to.
What is 'suspension day'?

yeah i've gotta figure out something with mine. i had some play in my lever so i adjusted it.. now after a while of city driving my wrist starts killin me. although i adjusted it this morning and its a little better.

i'd like it to be a little softer, easier to squeeze.
