Hi everyone,
I dunno about you all, but it frozen and snowy here so I'm using the winter to do some work on my 81 XS. It's also my first bike ever, so I'm learning as I go.
Anyway, I'm changing out the clutch cable to one of the 650 Central EZ Pull cables and I cant seem to get it adjusted correctly. I follow the instructions at the cover, tighten the pushrod screw to touch, then back off 1/4, then lock it down. After adjusting the freeplay at the perch, I find that when I engage the clutch the bike is still in gear. It seems that I'm not getting enough pull to disengage the clutch. Anyone have any thoughts? Should I just try adjusting the worm gear screw in further?
Thank for any advice!
Chris
