Hello all. Please let me give you the low down. I purchased this 97 Kat last year and the clutch as been strange since I bought it. I order to release enough to shift you have to CRANK down on the adjustments. This continued to get worse through the riding season last year. So, after reading some of the threads people were saying that the metal plates could be warped. This year I inspected the clutch and sure enough the metals were discolored, so I replaced metals, frictions and springs with all Barnett parts. No luck. I found some damage on the sprocket cover so I replaced the cover and the worm gear that connects to the clutch cable and pushes out the pressure plate. Still no luck. If you are thinking that I am not adjusting the clutch correctly, here are my steps.
1. winding in all cable adjustments.
2. Loosing nut for adjustment screw on worm gear.
3. Turning in set screw until I feel tension
4. Loosing screw 1\4 turn
5. tightening nut while holding screw
6. setting coarse adjustment until I have about 1 inch play on lever end
7. Setting fine adjustment until I have about 1\2 inch play on lever end
If there is around 1500 to 2000 RPM it will not go from neutral into gear with out grinding weather I have the clutch adjusted correctly or if I have too much adjustment in it. It does have a hard time finding neutral when it is in gear.
Any ideas?????? Or if there is a motorcycle tech in the North Eastern Lancaster PA area. I will pay to have it fixed. Thank you for any time that you can give me. I don't want to hurt the new clutch.
