homer382 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Hope for some help.. i have just recently bought a dragstar 650 and i cant seem to be able to get the biting point down to a reasonable level, the biting point is almost at the very end. ive tried slackening of the cable as suggested to me but the cable becomes very loose and the play becomes ridiculous. if i tighten the cable even slightly to remove the slack i have no biting point at all.. is it possible i have the wrong cable or would it mean i need a new clutch?

Thornhorn Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Funny enough I have the same on my xvs 125, so I assumed that it was the discs. I replaced the discs wich made no diference then I fiddled with the pivot pin in the clutch and that made a small diference but its back to the same. If your clutch is not sleppery then don't worry it maybe just the spring on the cluch arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo666 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 this is a common fault with the xvs there is a fix to it involving a small bit of plastic added to the clutch cable at the engine side here is a link that explains the method http://www.650ccnd.com/clutchspring.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
