clutch adjustment trouble
Hi guys,I could do with some help.I have a GSX 1100EZ engine in a GS1000 frame and I recently had to fit a new cable after stupidly overtightening the clamp and breaking it,only to discover on removing it to replace it the cable was half frayed through!! so on went a cable I had sitting and ever since that I can't seem to get the lever adjusted properly.If I screw the threaded portion of the cable out at the clutch casing I lose all the drive but if I screw it in then I am at about 3/4 of an inch away from the lever being fully out before it starts to bite, whereas with the old cable it was about 3/4 of an inch out from fully in that the clutch started to bite,I've moved the arm in about 20 degrees from parallel,20 degrees out from parallel with no difference,I've also noticed quite bad clutch slip on hard acceleration which wasn't present before-please tell me what I've done wrong!!!!,JohnnyTags: None

is the cable you have fitted exactly the same? and for the correct model GSX?
measure the length of both cables exactly, both inner and outer cables and see if there is any difference,
the arm should be set parallel with the clutch cover mounting face1978 GS1085.
Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!
