I went thru hell with clutch drag and I couldn't get my bike in N when stopped with engine running. I have an '83 IH. I installed a Tamer 2, Hayden M6 automatic Primary chain tensioner, and Barnett Kevlar friction discs. I run organic 20w50 in primary and motor. What a difference I literally can click in and out of gears and finding N is no prob. Totally eliminated clutch drag. Trust me IT WORKS!
Great video. I'm about to pull apart my '72 clutch to see why I'm getting erratic release. I found that using 20W50 oil helped me find neutral a lot better than whatever was in there before.
This video is both excellent and much appreciated! I just repacked the clutch on my 1975 XL1000 and am just about to disassemble the clutch release mech for a cleaning and inspection so this video served as a great primer!
I would o-ring the clutch adj plug just for good measure. Can't hurt and the oversight was corrected a few years later anyway so period correct for sure.
i hope you canhelp me, i changed the gasket on the tranny and now the clutch has no tension on it, i can adjust it with that nut thats there when i take off the cover but after i ull the clutch it stays like that, like if there spring action missing, any ideas?
My lower ramp part comes out from the slot causing it to pop out ! No clutch I wonder what you mean by penn ? I dont know if my case Slot area is wear out or what .
