Clutch adjustment question

[raybob]

Anyone try to adjust the lower clutch adjustment without removing the lower cowling/fairing?

Can it be done (with large hands)?

You dont have enough adjustment in your lever? Never done it on the other end...

About tapped out up top. Was fiddling with the chain and tires today and started to look at the clutch. Gotta tell ya, after 40 years of riding motorcycles, I think I'm about tired of adjusting chains and cable clutches. Fuel injection rocks, btw.

The fairing is really easy to remove and replace.

7-25 is the clutch adjustment page if you dont have the manual.

Hey Bob, Did your chain stretch a lot? My stock one I had to readjust it once at the beginning. Then When I change it last time all I had to do is readjust it after the initial 100-150 miles, that's it! I clean and lube it every other weeks or so. Depend on mileage... I just got my new 17/44 black sprocket and black chain with gold nuts. I might try to install it over the weekend. If I can get done swapping my cager engine...

Chain is fine. Hose it down every 3-500 miles. 98F today - makes me grumpy.
