clutch adjustment

Postby Dj » Sun May 01, 2005 10:57 am

i would like my clutch to engage closer to the grip
as it is, its fully engaged about 2mm, if that, from letting the handle go ( at the furthest distance from the grip)

i'd prefer it to engage much earlier...

could someone please advise me as to how to do this before i go out to 'experiment'
i guess it'll be much the same as the cbr250 and simply require adjustment at the engine end of the cable...?

Hi,

A ZXR 750 H1 should have a span adjustment with the clutch lever, if not it is not the correct one fitted in the first place, $25 MCA P'Matta
Cheers, Mark

Same problem as above. Different person (me). Different bike. ZZR250. Clutch is pissing me off, and my friends keep teasing me about it :oops: Tried adjusting it to the smallest, girlie-hand setting, but that hasn't helped. Cable is loose too. Help? -J.

always good to get an assistant to do the work for you :wink:

Heh, I'm at school on thursday RG, but I won't have Zed with me. I'd rather be shown how to do it than just have someone do it for me, anyway.

:?

I'm a little concerned my last sentence may be edited by mina or neka and misconstrued (sp.?) into smut.

Where's Smitty when you need a step by step, idiot's guide to adjusting bits of your bike? :lol: -J.
