    The adjustment on the lever is your minor adjustment the adjustment on the cable is considered major adjustment and the pressure plate is maintenance adjustment... No more then a nickels worth between perch and lever of Freeplay...

    Thank you for the demonstration. I have a couple of questions.
    1- What would be a good starting point? Lever half way, the cable half way and then adjust the screw?
    2- when I loosen the lever and the cable all the way to maximum cable slack, then, I screw in the clutch also all the way, the wheel continues to rotate (with no resistance applied) is that normal?
    3- it is hard to get my bike into neutral. When I do manage to get it into neutral and tilt the bike to the right the transmission engages. Tilt it to the left, it disengage. Could this be a clutch adjustment or is my transmission bad? I bought it second hand with only 182kms on the odometer.
    Looking forward to your response.

      2 try to screw it all the way in and then apply the rear brake it should stop without affecting the engine tone question 3 if the clutch isnt adjusted properly you will struggle to get into neutral

    How is the bike not stalling if its in 1st gear with no clutch pulled in ?

      It's not bearing any weight on the bike cause it to free move. If the back wheel was on the ground it would stall immediately

    My bikes clutch is releasing at the very end. Which adjustment will get the clutch to engaged sooner? Closer to the grip.

      if there is no adjustment already on the cable you will have to adjust it on the engine

      it is quite hard to diagnose an issue without seeing the bike directly but i would check the clutch basket itself the plates may be biding in there or maybe replace the 4 tension spring

    My yamasaki ym50 struggles to go from 1st gear to 2nd. I’m not sure if it’s something to do with the clutch needing tightening or if it’s another issue. Any suggestions?

    • @Ridingreviews
      @Ridingreviews  2 роки тому +4

      I would say it will be clutch for that i brt it is hard to get into neutral aswell

      @@Ridingreviews Yh the gear indicator goes blank sometimes inbetween neutral and 1st but you can tell it’s still in gear because it tries to pull of when you release the clutch

      You can adjust it on the handlebars, or there is an adjuster in the middle of the cable. What is wrong with your bike? What are the symptoms
