Title: Clutch push rod questions
Post by wickedbiker on 05/25/14 at 06:59:12

I have an older engine on my bike because the newer one was blown.
The older one on my bike right now has a clutch that is barley hanging on. It is fully extended as far as adjustment with not much left. Otherwise it slips bad. I have wet clutch bike oil. I'm certain since it is barely in the bottom adjustment mark to on or below it. Cause its blowing it. It needs a new clutch push rod or what have you. As you can tell I know nothing. ;D
Now! How can I take what off of the newer other engine and make the other older one work again the clutch that is and make it in the adjustment lines again?
No I don't drink I just write topics like I do :P

On the right side engine case is a couple of lines cast into the housing. With the slack taken out of the clutch arm, the arm should be somewhere between those two marks. If it is between those marks.....the issue is not a clutch rod or clutch plate wear problem.

This photo is of a clutch with little wear. As the clutch wears the lever will move down toward the lower mark, and then a shorter push rod is used.

Yea with slack in The line it is dipping below The bottom line. I bought this engine used on eBay and even though its not bad. It does have some pretty serious wear and tear on it

If you look in my photo....you can see my finger pushing the lever up so that it is lightly in contact with the pushrod inside the clutch. You should not be checking the marks with the lever flopping down....it needs to be pushed up in contact to take out the slack. All of them can be pulled down below the line with the clutch cable loose.
