Good afternoon all.
I appreciate there have been a few threads on above mentioned topic, but after reading probably all of them I am no closer to getting my bike working again.
So a few weeks back I am out on my way to my club meet, and at the lights, my lever under hand went very loose. Quick check and noticed it had frayed and was hanging on by a few threads. So about turn and get home!
I ordered a new cable (genuine part from a Yamaha Dealer) and attempt to fit.
Using the guide on this forum and my trusty haynes manual I fit the new cable with the center adjustment almost fully in to give my self the most amount free play allowing me to use have the hand lever end adjuster screwed all the way in. My thinking was by doing that all my future adjustment would be done at the hand lever.
So, the routing is the same as the old cable and I have connected the barrel ends.
The clutch action at the hand lever is very light and when releasing the slave lever does not snap all the way back.
so I try a few other adjustments combinations and still have the same issue.
When i start the bike, in nuetral, front break on, clutch lever pulled in, kick into first, and bike wants to pull forward, so the clucth is not fully disengaging.
I have even removed the slave lever, and moved it 1 or 2 splines on the shaft.
At every point and combination, the clutch never disengages.
It was all fine with the old cable which makes me think there is nothing wrong with the clutch, but i am clearly doing something wrong with the cable adjustment.
I fear with my tuning, and moving the slave lever, that I have made a right old mess of it....
Any suggestions anyone?
