  • i got the gears fixed but i have a thrust washer question

    hello well i have a problem, someone was in this bike before me.

    and i did the 1,2 gear fix, cam stop wasnt in bike, so i put one in, 1st thing i noticed.

    2nd, i got new friction plates and added a second steel, got the clutch back together i have a new clutch cable.
    so when i try to ajust the screw in until it tuches i have to screw it in so far that i barly have enough to put the nut on, anything less and i have way sloppy cable.
    so i ajust untill it hits and i have to back out upper cable ajustment and i get clutch but i barly have to let out the handle and it engages.

    something is not right my springs are in spec.

    so the other thing i noticed is that the 1st thrust washer is thin and does not look like the right one.
    if the thrust washer that is closest to oil pump was rong and to thin would that cause the hole assemply to be in to far?

    If you do the adjustment by the book (all the way till it touches and then back 1/4 turn) and you have too much slop in a new cable that sounds like a wrong cable. If I adjust mine like that with an OLD cable I need very little adjustment at the handle to get proper operation. That said, I need pull the clutch in very little to start slipping but have to get pretty much all the way in to fully disengage.
