    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.

replaced steel plates and fiber plates and springs, reassembled. I do'nt have any clutch cable tension.I have adjusted both end of the cable and nothing I do seems to make a difference. Any suggestions.
 
Assuming your clutch itself is OK now I would suspect the clutch cable arm on the shaft that sticks out of your clutch cover. Remove the pinch bolt in the arm and remove the arm, now screw all the clutch cable adjusters in to give the cable as much length as possible. Rotate the clutch shaft clockwise until it stops, now reinstall the arm while pulling on the cable, the arm should make an angle less than 90 degrees with the cable itself if this is done right. Now adjust most of the play out of the cable with the lower adjuster on the engine case, leave some free play up at the lever. Adjust the lever to proper freeplay with the handlebar adjuster. When everything is right, the angle between the arm on the shaft and the cable itself will be less than 90 degrees when the lever is out and over 90 degrees when pulled in. I hope I remember this all correctly, it has been a while. If I haven't been clear please let me know.
