HI there all,
Can I please have some more of your excelent advice? I’m reassembling my xs650, (’80 Oceania engine Build series) and I‘m clearly not getting something right with the clutch reassembly. I’ve a two piece clutch rod setup, all parts in good condition. I install the clutch actuator in this order, mushroom head actuator, ball bearing, long rod, ball bearing, shorter rod. The ball bearings are 8mm in dia. The shorter rod with the turned step is therefore extending from the oil seal out of the crankcase with the turned, stepped end mating into the actuating worm mounted on the L/H case. The issue is that when I assemble the casing, the overall length of this assembly seems too long as the only way to get a working ( but quite heavy lever pull) is to back the adjuster right out, which does not allow cap to be installed.
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?
Cheers
