Hello ! A question here friend 😊 New bike, 2023 Hornet 750 clutch free play set within spec (12mm for 10to20). I would like to further the bite point of the clutch. As for now it is so close to the handlebar that my hand is in the way and I have to operate it with 4 fingers to pull it all the way otherwise it is clunky. Thanks for your video and your time !
I have small hand so i increase the freeplay to bout 5-6mm. Since then everytime i cold start the bike in the morning, switch from N to 1 the first time is really rough, after that N to 1 become normal. Am i missing anything
I jus had my clutch changed on my 04 gsxr 1000 and I'm trying to adjust my clutch lever..i dnt like mine loose but are u saying it has to be so its not disengaging the clutch or so it will I mean..I'm confused lol
Hi, ive just bought a Z900 2017 model and unfortunately it seems the clutch is slipping. Im new to bikes really so not got much idea. Basically it rides fine but when planting the throttle in any gear, once it hits 6/7000 rpm it just flys up to like 10k rpm like its hitting the limiter, but the speeds taking ages to catch up. Any ideas if i can sort with adjustment or would it need new plates. Its only on 7800 MILES
Hope this is easy to understand. If you have any questions, feel free to massage me! Thanks for watching! Stay tuned!

great video, easy to understand. Thanks for explaining the harm a tight clutch cable could cause and showing how beneficial a loose cable could be.
Great video - thanks! You are one of the few who mentioned the adjustment at the engine too, which was key for me in getting mine sorted.
Glad it helped!
Wow, I just severed my clutch cable before watching this video. Now I know why mine was shitty due to closer clutch play.

I was about to make a comment like this too
Got eem 😆
Will more clutch freeplay reduce mileage?
shouldn't

Uhmm seems like that lever isn't pulling enough cable to fully disengage the clutch. Might be time to invest in a set of adjustable levers.

Just that there needs to be a little slack in the line, to ensure that it's not pulling on the cable, when the clutch lever is not being pulled on.

Make sure there is some free play in the clutch lever. If there is some free play and it still slips then you'll need a new clutch. Good luck!
Pulling the clutch disengages it, not engages it.
If it’s too tight, it will not fully disengage, it will remain engaged is what he said. Slight play is needed. Which is also what he said.
Thanks
