Bro you saved my life, thank you so much for the knowledge. I changed my levers and didn’t what to do after, thank you.

@Albrtd3 6 лет назад

Very simple and to the point instructions, much appreciated sir!

I never knew this 2 cards trick to adjust the clutch lever free play. In my FZi,I used a ruler to measure the slack, I had a video for that. Thanks for this, I learned something new today.

@comeonhay9899 5 лет назад

Thanks a lot. I did it first with the bicycle and then with the motorcycle so I can understand how to adjust it properly and it worked.

@GrieverXVII 24 дня назад

i just watched at least 10 different videos on clutch adjustment and you're the only one to actually explain the why behind all the adjustments especially the lower part, most videos just tell you what to do and learn nothing..

@briannater2071 11 месяцев назад

Very instructional and clear, easy to understand, thank you so much!

@johnblake1478 Год назад

Thank you. Thanks to your video I finally understand the concept of free play.

@infantrymatt83 4 года назад

I'm getting a hang up on my XSR900. clutch comes out but lever doesnt come back all the way. I've lubed the cable but thinking there might be a brake in the cable. thoughts?

@kennethcuenca5009 4 года назад

@Mr.VinceKeK 4 года назад

2 credit card trick is great, ty sirr!

@honse 3 года назад

I can’t get a wrench to the top nut and there is also that metal bracket in between the two nuts. Any suggestions?

@juansolorzano5478 4 года назад

Maybe a dumb question but, should you here noise when your bike is in neutral and clutch isn't engaged?

@travelinben1966 Год назад

Thanks,I needed that.👍🏻👍🏻

@jonwiley2480 3 года назад

These 2 creditcard good for my sv650s 2003 to? Cold engine or warm engine?

@jacksonaccordini136 2 года назад

My Honda crf 230 is really confusing to make the clutch looser. Do you have any other ideas

@tommycantu8814 Год назад

I have an issue with a bike I just bought. I am a new rider is it supposed to stall out when I hold the clutch and I am in first gear? It does it alot when I am in traffic and I am not sure why it keeps stalling out. I can only do a stop and go like 2 maybe 3 times before it stalls out. Only way for it not too is to use the throttle when I am still holding the throttle. When I do this tho the throttle acts up and starts to jerk. I need help fixing this. I am a new rider for it is hard to understand if it is suppose to be doing this but I am almost positive it's not because it wasn't doing this before.

@SafeBets3 3 года назад

You helped me fix my ninja 400. Thanks bro

@kellyj5389 6 лет назад

Love the videos

@MT4LYF 28 дней назад

So if you back the locking nut nearest the engine - further up the cable - away from end of cable - and then lock it off then the clutch grab point is closer to the handle bar ?

@nicholasbusch8552 6 лет назад

Great video

@Isaiaha400 2 года назад

So the cable shouldnt move at all when applying slop?

@aaronkehoe6707 6 лет назад

Your Yamaha key has a notch at the top. That's the perfect tool to measure the gap

@AARONLT25 Год назад

I cant loosen mine enough so clutch slips still what do I do?

@Concordeagle 5 лет назад

Another good reason for having slack is to prevent dragging the clutch and premature wear on plates.

@EverydayButSunday 6 лет назад

Whenever I work on my bike, I use the service manual (different from owner's manual). It takes a lot of the guesswork out of it.

@TwoWheelObsession 6 лет назад

+Everyday But Sunday lol so do I but like I said, it does no good in this case.

@rickrod03 3 года назад

Thank you 😊

@kevink9127 6 лет назад

Do you have a video about throttle adjustment

@TwoWheelObsession 6 лет назад

Yep it's in the how to playlist

@Anthony-qh1xv 3 года назад

so even though you have slop in the clutch, does it always move that arm on the engine? or not until you move it more when it bites?

@lowoctane 2 года назад

Should not start to push the clutch rod until you are at end of free play. You may need to adjust the lower part of the cable and the push rod adjustment (usually in line with centre of your clutch basket)

@BowzKnows 6 лет назад

I put some Chinese unbreakable levers on a Crf250l and today when adjusting free play by doing the 2 credit card method the clutch was way too loose while driving. To get the fiction to a normal point means that I have no free play. This I assume is still bad. File off some of the lever to gain some free play?

@TwoWheelObsession 6 лет назад

No, you do a full adjustment at the other end of the cable to reset it.

@abdullahbasamh6210 3 года назад

My Z1000R started stalling when I stop at a red light even though i'm holding the clutch but it doesn't when I grab it closer than usual which is uncomfortable. I tried this and it worked like a charm! Thanks a lot!

@tvbuu 2 года назад

Gonna try this today

@robertotrevizo9981 4 года назад

Is the 2 a 3 mm you can used two quarter dollar for the gauge

@TheFloridaBikeVlogger 4 года назад

@rolandos64 3 года назад

You could use a USA nickel 5cents. Use its thickness

@gerardkinsella6034 6 месяцев назад

How do you know if you have a slipping clutch

@brucecaldwell5239 5 лет назад

Did he say brake cable?

@callumtaylor6965 3 года назад

Cheers bud

@daquanfowler7358 4 года назад

I hava a new clutch cable for a yz250 and i have way too much freeplay. Followed instruction and still have too much play

@spetersonmusic 6 лет назад

Simple but important.

@k_darius 3 года назад

Great video thanks for the information. I have a question, no one seems to talk about it. So I understand there should be free play at the lever. But I was wondering how that free play looks at the clutch side. I am asking because I changed my levers and when I release my clutch lever the little arm with a spring near the clutch doesn't spring back all the way in. Is that normal, or should it spring back all the way? Hope I explained clearly ;]

@100achillguy7 3 года назад

I am no expert but that doesn’t sound right... especially if it was different than before. For me my issue is clutch releases at the very bottom, like the last 7/8 of the lever is my “clutch”

@brucewayne2397 2 года назад

Did u ever find out?

@lowoctane 2 года назад

Clutch push rod adjustment

@k_darius 2 года назад

@@brucewayne2397 not really but I managed to adjust it to be ok. It was strange, but I can say there's is Freeplay on both ends. After that I had to get my second service so I asked them and they assured me that everything is property adjusted.
