Quick question...

Post by Murv »

My clutch bites right at the very end of the lever travel, as in just before the lever is fully released.
Apparently the clutch is hydraulic, so can't be adjusted, does this sound right?

Cheers,

Chris

You can adjust the lever, using the round wheel.
This sets the bite point relative to the lever angle, to suit those with larger or smaller hands.

But the amount of slack cannot be set, unlike a cable operated version.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Thanks Tony, I have had a fiddle with that, but it doesn't seem to do a great deal. A lot of it is probably me getting used to the bike I guess

Try Bleeding it mate and replacing with newer fluid, if its not in great condion the pipe may even have to much flex in it and need a replacement

Bleed it and see how you get on with that, wont take long.
