CLUTCH 2001 virago 250

[jorge lobo]

Hello guys
I'm back with the virago problem
I did took the clutch plates out and the are good, adjusted the clutch screw and still have the problem. The bike will engage in all the gears with no problem but the neutral when runing.
To be able to engage n neutral I have to turn it off and it will go neutral easy
Any other ideas , is this ambig issue .

Did you check them for flatness as well as thinkness? I don't know about the Virago, but on the XS series (at least the ones I have worked with) many factors get involved, and getting the adjustment right means making adjustments at both the bottom and top of the clutch cable (there is an adjustment at the bottom that adjusts the inner assembly parts of the clutch and then the adjustment at the clutch lever to remove the free play from the clutch cable. If you don't have them both right, it will either slip or never fully release (and fully release is a misnomer, these multiplate clutches in my experience never really fully release, and neutral is always hard to find, especially when the engine is hot or really cold (thick oil in one case and thermal expansion of parts in the other)).
