clutch adjustment

Post by nation » Thu Jun 14, 2012 5:43 pm

bike jumps slightly when i put it in first. seems to want to ease forward when in gear with clutch disengaged. also if i gas it too aggressively when shifting it will slip and i back off and its fine. not real clear on the adjustment process. Nation

I think it's not adjustment.
I recommend you get to the clutch and clean parts and look for damaged/warn parts. .........lm

thank you LM. I understand friction plates are no longer available for a 67 dream. So I guess clean it? sand it? Nation

Just to let you know there is a lot not included and some of what is isn't correct. .........lm

You are undoubtedly correct on both accounts. Although some of what I wrote is accurate and could be of benefit to some folks, like the part about the 020 discs being available again.

I've certainly appreciated your generous assistance in the past and would appreciate it again now if you'd care to comment on the items I've written that are not correct. I only wrote what I observed and what I thought to be true based upon my admittedly limited experience with these bikes. I am no expert.
