Where is your friction zone?

2445 Views 9 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  fog
Just wondering where your friction zone is on your clutch lever travel. Mine is almost all the way out, which I find different then other bikes I have ridden. The free play on my clutch lever is correct according to the manual.

Can you adjust where the friction zone is on the clutch lever travel? I would prefer it to be about midway in the travel, because I find that easier for slipping the clutch.

By the way, my clutch has never slipped while engaged.

While you say your free play is OK, a small adjustment of the cable will make a big diffrence, and still leave some free play.

It dosn't matter which end you adjust, both ends do the same thing. Change the legnth of the housing the cable pulls against.

Sorry Red Leg , allie sama tinga, either end has exactlly the same effect. Just like bitz said on the top you don't need tools.
