Honda ss50 clutch
hairygit:
Silly question, but are you adjusting it correctly, I don't know what manual or details you are following to adjust it, but Haynes manuals don't always give the correct method, the Honda 90 manual for example is the opposite of how it should be done, causing many owners headaches, but I've not seen the SS50 Haynes to know.

The Haynes manual doesn’t say how to adjust so I adjusted the way I’ve always done other clutches . Eg wind in until meets resistance then back off 1/4 turn . Not sure that is the right way .
hairygit:
If you lift the clutch arm on the side cover by hand, do you feel at any point the pressure other than the return spring? There should be a marked step/increase in pressure once the internal part of the release mechanism contacts the release bearing inside. Also, is the adjuster bolt left or right hand thread, as it changed part way through production, and going by engine/frame number is not really a good guide, as both types of casing fit, and who knows what may have been changed/swapped I've 40+ years.
