How to adjust motorcycle clutch
If the motorcycle is suddenly in gear and unable to move, the clutch is not connected completely. The main problem in this situation is that the engine's power transmission is affected, and the car cannot run. It is the same as neutral gear, which is what we usually call "lost gear".
There are usually two main reasons for this situation:
First, the clutch wire is too tight, causing the active and passive friction plates to not be completely combined;
The second is the serious wear of the friction plate. The first solution is to adjust the clutch line, and the other is to replace the friction plate.
Adjustment of clutch grip stroke: If the stroke of the end of the clutch does not meet the requirements, loosen the lock nut at the root of the grip and rotate the adjusting nut left and right to make the stroke of the grip end be 15mm-20mm. If you change the cable, you should pay attention to the different directions of the cables of various models. After installation, the handlebars must be driven to the far left and the far right to adjust the free stroke of the grip.
Clutch clearance adjustment: Generally, it is enough to turn the handle adjustment nut, and it will be better if the cable is checked and adjusted at the same time. If the clutch grip is adjusted and the gap still does not meet the requirements, the cable should be removed and adjusted through the cap on the nut. If the cable sheath is cracked or bent and deformed, replace the cable with a new one.
Overhaul of clutch slip: clutch slip is mainly caused by insufficient clutch grip clearance. If the right grip gap is too small or there is no gap at all, the clutch is always in a half-clutch state, which will inevitably cause the clutch to slip. You can loosen the lock nut at the root of the grip counterclockwise, and then turn the adjusting nut left and right until the gap is right.
If the gap standard value is still not reached after adjusting the grip nut, the bracket that fixes the cable adjustment nut should be lifted up. After the adjustment is complete, start the engine and check whether the gear shift is smooth, clean, slippery, or abnormal noise. If there is a problem, further inspection should be conducted to find out the reason and eliminate it.
