Clutch issues Help!
I just changed all my fluids to amsoil 20/50 eccept the tranny amsoil 75/90, but i am still having a problem getting it into neutral when warmed up and the clutch is slipping. When i am coming to a stop or idling with the clutch lever pulled in it still wants to pull. Not sure what to do now, does the clutch need to be adjusted ( only 3400 kms ) and if so is that a regular thing to have to do. Help !!

RE: Clutch issues Help!
Yes of course the clutch needs to be adjusted periodically! First off, you should buy a manual.
There is an adjuster in the cable clamped to the downtube of the frame. You need to loosen the adjuster all the way right there. Then, inside your derby cover is an allen bolt with a jam nut. You need to loosen the nut, then using an allen wrench turn the bolt in until it lightly seats. Then back it out 1/2 to 1 turn, then torque the jam nut down to 72-120in/lbs. Then at the adjuster, tighten it up. At the clutch handle, pull on the cable and measure the gap between the cable end and the hand control bracket. It should be around 1.6-3.2mm Adjust the adjuster to achieve the distance then lock the jam nut down on the adjuster. This should have been done at the 1k mile service, and then every 5k miles thereafter.
This would be a good time also to lube the cable.
