Trans shifting problem
#16
Just got done replacing my clutch with an extra plate clutch kit from Barnett for very similar problems. Found that the rivets on that spring plate had let go. Before I tore it apart I adjusted the clutch 10 ways to Sunday, but it never got better. The spring plate was a bad design.
Good Luck.

I'm agreeing with FreedomRider on this one.

What makes sense is to do the simplest cheapest things first, and since you haven`t even adjusted the clutch properly yet there is no way to know if there is even a problem.
Open up your service manual and it will tell you, the first thing you do when having shifting problems is to ADJUST THE CLUTCH.
Does that make sense to you?
Good luck

ok finally had a chance to work on the bike. Pulled the derby cover and loosened the lock nut which was very tight. Best I could tell it was around 1/3 to 1/2 turns out. I readjusted it to about 1 then about 1 1/2 turns out. Still seems to be grabbing about the same spot each time. Can someone tell me how the screw relates to where the clutch handle grabs. Does less turns make it grab closer to the handle bars or the opposite.
thanks
