Clutch drag

(1/3) > >>

MarkCR750:
I've got a bit of clutch drag, not major but I can make selecting first a bit noisy!, before I start taking the clutch apart is there any value in adjusting the pushrod, I can't find anything about it in my Haynes manual, the lock nut below is very tight, but before I start using heat etc has anyone adjusted this with good results?, thanks Mark .

hairygit:
Before you do any more, are you aware that the pushrod adjuster is left hand thread, which will break if you keep trying to "undo" it by the usual anti clockwise way!

MarkCR750:
Ha, no wonder it was tight! :), (well it is now), thanks Hairygit, I knew there was something amiss as a locknut shouldn't be that tight so I stopped, perhaps it was too early in the morning for me to think that it might be a left hand thread!, anyway thanks again you've save a lot of swearing and crying at this end.

hairygit:
Ignore what I said about the left hand thread, closer inspection of the pic you posted shows it to be a conventional right hand thread, I got muddled with the adjuster on the C50/70/90, which IS left hand thread.

No worries, I had just tried and there was a slight click of movement but it felt like it went tighter so I stopped, had a look at photos of second hand ones on eBay and yes definitely R/H , think I'll try some carefully applied heat to the locknut.
