Clutch Adjustment

2 posts in this topic

The clutch on the my X11 bites at the right at the end of

The handlebar lever travel.It has some after market levers

fitted with 5 clicks of adjustment on them.Anyway with the

Levers set to 5 and if I loosened the lock wheel and screwed

The threaded part of the cable in a bit,I managed to obtain some

Play and the bite moved to nearer the bar...happy days!!

  Unfortunately I decided to have another fiddle and now the 

cable doesnt want to play anymore and wont adjust in or out.

I didnt want to force the issue,the bike rides perfectly fine as before

So I am back to square one.

   Two options I think.Remove the pivot bolt and lever unhook the cable

End and try to carefully unscrew the cable and free things up.Or use the adjuster down by the motor.

  The cable action is fine,no problems with sticking or anything..

Any helpful opinions chaps? Anyone had similar problems?

Give it a good soak in WD40 then try warming the ally around the adjuster with a heat gun (not a flame !!) If it doesn't free off then then try to get the adjustment back at the bottom , if this fails then your faced with buggering up the adjuster to get it out , or worse buggering up the l/h cable bracket .

Not the end of the world if it all buggers up £29 for a new cable bracket and £3.50 for a new adjuster
