Hey all, I've been looking around the forums and can't seem to find a thread that has a similar problem to what I'm having, So I'm in the dark with this and decided to post.
So I'll start off by saying my bike was running amazing until I snapped a tooth off my clutch gear behind the basket, I replaced this and put it all back together properly, and upon doing so I disconnected the lower clutch cable lever to take the clutch cover off. So I'm assuming its a cable adjustment issue, probably because I haven't re-adjusted it correctly when I reconnected the cable to the bottom clutch cable lever and I just cant seem to find the sweet spot again.
Now,
In high rpms in each gear when I would ease off the throttle the bike would rev a little high and slow down proportionally like I was very, very lightly tapping on the brakes, Not a lot but noticeable.
So, me being annoyed it wasn't perfect I decided to get the tools out to fix it and only made it worse.
The lever doesn't disengage the clutch until about 1cm-5mm away from a full lever release and when I put it in gear and take off the bike revs a little higher than the speed its going.
So would I need to buy a new clutch or just tamper with adjustments more? It seems like such an easy thing to adjust in theory but for someone that's never done it practically, its a pain.
I adjusted it once more before I called it a day, I'll test it tomorrow and see where I stand from there and if its not right I'll inspect the plates I guess.
Cheers, Brae.
