Clutch Adjustment

[Guest Bruce]

Is there a way to adjust the clutch engagement point. Mine hooks up when the lever is almost all the way out which allows me to fan the clutch doing quick up shifts but has always felt odd to me when taking off. Is it suppose to feel like that? I've owned many off-roaders which were all cable activated and none felt like this.

I don't think there is a clutch adjustment except for the 4 way adjuster at the lever. On my 00 V11Sport, the clutch engagement point was like yours, way out even with the lever adjusted in the 4th position. What I did to correct this problem was to adjust the adjustment screw out about one turn on the lever itself. This screw is what pushes on the clutch master piston and is covered with a glue like substance. Just dig the glue out (make sure it is out of the screwdriver slot) and back it off till you get the right engagement point. There is a clip that only allows so much adjustment of this set screw, so be careful not to overcome the clip.

 

Good luck,

Mike
