so much more tightYou wouldnt want any less than that. So was it tighter than that before?
did thatPlus you are all the way in at the perch. Id loosen it up at the arm so you have some wiggle room to adjust later down the road.
Im not sure I understand what you mean. Are you saying your bike stalls when you are in gear with the lever pulled in?i know you deleted this but i totally understand what you're saying. when i put it in gear it automatically stalls, does this mean it's too lose? i love the clutch freeplay but does it not need to stall with it pulled in all the way and with the rear tire up? @cornfed View attachment 14625
yeah!Im not sure I understand what you mean. Are you saying your bike stalls when you are in gear with the lever pulled in?
going to upload something real quick for youSo your bike is on a stand. kick stand up. You are in first gear. Pull in clutch. Start bike. Tire should not be spinning. Let clutch out easy. Tire should start spinning.

yeah all good. i'm going to like... upload a video of my freeplay for the clutch and like... if anyone is willing to quality check it that'd be amazingLol, so you all good?
yeah i totally get it now, its basically kinda like how a washer works just some space in between the two thresholds of engagement and disengagement. wow aight y'all im a lvl 7 clutch master nowYou need to be able to move the clutch lever a few mm BEFORE the cable cable starts moving. This is the slack we are talking about. If you move the clutch lever and the clutch cable starts moving immediately with no slack the clutch is always partially engaged and that is the reason why you are burning out the clutch. Do you understand?
Not necessarily with the clutch arm spring installed. It will hold slight tension on the cable because the spring is pushing the arm back. At least that is how mine is. It is noticeable when you hit the wall of resistance of the clutch springs though.You need to be able to move the clutch lever a few mm BEFORE the cable cable starts moving.

thankfully i have some knowledge in engineering so im not completely lost. but this is what i'm at right now, im actually pretty satisfied with this, so much more room than beforeNot necessarily with the clutch arm spring installed.
