CB750 / Dragging clutch
« on: December 31, 2020, 02:19:41 PM »
I took a punt on a non-running 1976 F1 for not a lot of money. I worked through the bike and now it runs, stops and generally does everything reasonably expected of it except for the clutch. When I bought it, I assumed that the plates were stuck and that a good ride would clear things and when there was no change I removed the clutch and checked and cleaned everything. There was no change. The bike would only go into gear with a nasty clunk and the bike had to be held on the brakes, eventually stalling. At this point, I put it away and concentrated on the bikes that were behaving themselves! When the pain had subsided, I bought a new set of plates from D Siver and fitted them; again no change. The bike was banished again. Recently I had time to look at it again. Everything seems to be correct. The clutch action is smooth and the  cable is adjusted as per the manual but it still will not go into gear without a clunk and it drags badly. I have tried screwing in the clutch release by half a turn but it still clunks but not as badly. Can I turn the clutch release in further? ( I don’t really like to do this as I feel that it should work as per the book). Any suggestions would be gratefully received, as I have now had the bike for two years and I would like to ride it when the world returns to normality.

Thank you
