[QUOTE="usefulidiot, post: 56560, member: 3036"] arrrrgh. Frustration. Out riding the other day and the bike is running great. I notice i'm having some more trouble than usual finding neutral again. Then i realize that i have more play at the clutch lever than i should. Upon Inspection, the little ball in the primary side adjuster has worn a ball shaped divot in the end of the clutch pushrod, creating more clearance in the system. I readjusted everything to create as much lift as possible without preloading the rod on the adjuster more than just a touch. Still very difficult to find neutral. I just dont think that this particular multiplate clutch setup is capable of functioning well with the given amount of travel in the system. My original clutch functioned well, just slipped. I originally made the decision to go with the multiplate as i was familiar with this setup and was intimidated by the stock clutch. I think i'm going to get the shoes relined and a new pilot friction plate and throw the old one back in with a new pushrod of course and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
