Clutch Adjustment Movement ?

Hey guy's,

I installed a bearing support plate on the bike.

I installed the clutch components to the bearing support plate and installed it. I adjusted all the slack out of my cable and lever. When I pull back clutch lever to disengage the clutch it is firm and feels great with little to no slack....

during this process I’m able to observe the clutch adjuster and its movement. The worm gear is only moving or pushing rod 1/8 inch.

I looked in my factory manual and didn’t see a setting or number for movement of this part to gauge if its working.

How much movement is needed to disengage the clutch pack? is this enough?

Thanks for advice....

Yes, it does not take much to release the pressure.

A good replacement clutch push rod can be made from the same size Drill Rod. Most machine shop supply stores can get it for you in either Metric, or Imperial(American) size.

As I wrote above....not a clutch rod problem....just wanted to know upon pulling the clutch lever in completly....how far is the push rod moved by the clutch release in fractions of an inch... 1/16" - 1/8" - 1/4" ....?

I can see release moving...see pic

Kinda depends on how much wear on the clutch plates & cable stretch. I'd say no more than 1/8" of an inch when new.

thats cool...Im getting a bit more than 1/8" so Im ok....Thanks alot for help....
