      Jack Callahan you have stripped the threads or just arent tightening them enough or need to use blue locktight

    If you can't tell if it is slipping or not, listen back-to-back.
    Clutch slipping - 0:05
    Not slipping - 14:43

    When I was working at the local motorcycle shop I could not believe how many people came in with clutch cables bango tight. We would have customers come in all the time for diag on slipping clutches that took 20 minutes to two hours of labor to fix on Dirtbike's and it was end up costing well over 100 dollars almost every time. The best was when you would do the guy a favor and lube and adjust the cable to spec to be told by the customer that we messed up his now perfectly functional clutch

  • @AuMechanic
    @AuMechanic Před 6 lety +30

    Good video.
    Method I used to adjust cable free play servicing bikes was to turn the steering to full lock both sides, one side usually has less free play than the other as the cable bends more around the steering head, then adjust so it just has free play on the tight side.
    That usually gives enough straight ahead and ensures at least some free play even on full lock.
    Same for throttle cables.

    2 minutes adjusting the cable and the bike moves like a totally different bike. Probably a couple years before the clutch actually needs work!

    One thing to add, if you wear the clutch too much, in the pinch you can put washers between screws and springs, this will work for a while, just to let you go home.

    @deathscythe767 Před 8 měsíci

    Dude thanks for making this video. Right this moment I'm researching how to fix my honda rebel 1100 while 149 miles away from home. I lucked out and broke down near a bucee's. No torque engagement in any gear. I'm guessing my ignorant ass had a bit of loose play on the clutch for too long and it finally burned it out for my Thanksgiving trip. This gave me an idea of what to look for while replacing the clutch plates.
    Btw for anyone wondering what's happening, I already have someone coming with a truck and my motorcycle lift so we can chuck this on the bed and strap it down. Just incredibly sucky and scary to realize you're red lining and slowing down. Pretty cool, but complete crap.
    Thanks @CameronNiemela

    thanks Cam, i basically have the opposite problem on my Husaberg. when i pull the clutch, then there is still a very light amount of friction and the bike very slowly rolls forward if i don't hold it back. i have an hydraulic clutch, so no clutch-cable to adjust.. i have already changed the hydraulic oil, to ensure it's properly bled, but it's still happening. not that it would really bother me, but i feel that i will get excessive plate-wear like that. any ideas?

  • @MrXavixavier
    @MrXavixavier Před 6 lety +1

    Could someone help me?
    I bought a new clutch lever for my Honda XR400 but even at max adjustment, the clutch slips (the clutch plates are pretty much apart from each other). I think the lever is to big (the space between the adjuster and the lever itself is too wide) for the cable, is that possible? And is there a way around it other than buying a new lever?
    Would really appreciate some help!

  • @LoneStarProductions7
    @LoneStarProductions7 Před 5 lety

    Hey man, just picked up a 2005 CRF450R, it had a broken perch and I replaced it with a nicer 1 finger easy pull perch but being a noob I rode it roughly 20 miles with it adjusted to tight slipping the clutch. Now I have a loud screeching sound coming from the clutch. Won’t be able to get inside the clutch for a few days but my question is, is that noise a common sign of bad clutch plates? Also it looks as if the fluid was slightly low as well so should I be worried about transmission damage?
