My bike is built for drag racing. Japanese, so I've noticed thru the years, the cut side always faces the pressure plate. I've notice the Honda CBX's clutch design is the pressure plate is installed first, and I've seen the cut steels facing into the engine. One down for me.
Next round, one guy I call 'The Hand,' because his time slips show it, he thru his steels in facing the engine and this design is pressure plate is last to be installed, but seems both ways work. So take it for WOT it's worth.
Now I've seen Harley's old roller ball bearing steel plates, where those are stamped 'out.' A closer look and it shows the sharper side of those steel plates point the way. So for me to see Harley and Honda assemble it this way, it's my way too.
Sloppy the shit is this? Balls up and collect your comeback or, you can look at it another way. Say it's tuition money lost, you could of had better luck doing it yourself.
Trick Me This:
1. The cable outer is expandable right? WD-40 the rubber boot, slide it up, expose the cable adjust, nut is loose, run it down so no threads are showing. This places the cable outer at its shortest length.
2. The 1/4 out turn from a lightly seated position is to run the lock nut out some, screwdriver in one hand at the adj screw, other hand on the lever. As you screw in, this will move the lever toward the perch. Towards the grip is the wrong direction. As mentioned, this is were your feel is to touch the pussy, not buckle her over like getting kicked there. This is not loading up the rod and buckling it kind of twist. It's all about feel beginning right here.
Now that you know where home is, hand off the lever, back out the screw and back off of it till it feels loose, then run back to its so as lightly as possible; I don't care how many time you need to feel the no tight at it. You are now kissing that pussy lip is not even, get it? Now out 1/4 turn and lock it.
3. Back to the cable outer, begin to expand it till the lever hits the perch. If you pull and feel any lightly pull at the perch and lever's gap, close it up till you can draw a business card gap at it. That's hair trigger, far as you can throw it. Can't find N after that, someone is at fault here.
Are your riding habits more revs than riding kind of throttle blipper from hell? Rev-rev and bogs when riding it again letting the clutch back out, didn't know slowing down revving and revving, you forgot to shift down? Just asking LOL...
