Clutch adjustment???

I need to try to adjust the clutch at the motor (I am advised anyways).

I have never even changed a clutch; but I do have the manual to assist; my mechanical apptitude should not be a problem.

So whats involved in adjusting the clutch at the motor to allow for bit more slippage??.

Reason:
after 15 runs or so the clutch became way too grabby, Clutch refused to slip hardly last time at the dragstrip; made for lousy 60 ft's...

Hoping I can fix if possible.

Thanks in advance!



Have fun; ride while there is still gasoline available!

Try hiking up your skirt. That should show more slip

Uh... I don't know from drag racing, but I think the slip he's talking about is not affected by the slipper clutch feature. He wants a smoooooooth engagement, not a reduction in engine braking.

salsa...you need to let the 12 cool down about 20 minutes with the oil cap off between 2-3 back to back runs!!!
