    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

16V TSCC 750 Clutch Cable Adjustment

I agree - logically, if you disconnect the clutch cable then the clutch is at full grab, and if it is still slipping, then the problem is inside the clutch - springs or plates.

I would loosen the clutch cable off totally at the lever, and at the clutch end, and see what you get.

With the engine running, roll the bike downhill and go from neutral to first, then stop the bike in first with the brakes. The clutch should grab, and probably stall the engine. You may fall off - ask me how I know :D

If it does, the clutch is good and you have a cable adjustment problem.

If it doesn't, then I would suspect the clutch pack itself.
 
Coming in late to the game here, (and I am usually a retard)but are we to assume the cable is routed correctly, and is not bound or pinched anywhere to frame by the weight of the fuel tank or routed in a way where there is too much tension on the cable when it is connected at both ends??

FWIW, Mike, I had a similar problem when I installed a new clutch pack. I arranged the pack and counted discs three times before installation, and when I come to a stop in gear, and turn off the bike, you can tell the clutch is grabbing ever so slightly....
 
Sounds like you need either new clutch springs or new clutch fibers. If the fibers are in spec and you are still slipping take out the clutch steels and clean them with steel wool.

Okay, the clutch checks out just fine, btw! Didn't even fall off!

Looks like it just needed a good lubing. We're back!
