Title: CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
Post by marty62253 on 11/17/04 at 11:12:28

OK-LAST QUESTION FOR TODAY
CLUTCH GRABS AT VERY END OF THROW - AFTER THAT, CABLE IS LIMP - NO PRESSURE TO MOVE LEVER OUT ANY FARTHER.
IF I PLAY WITH CABLE ADJUSTERS, I CAN GET SLACK OUT OF CABLE - BUT - THE CLUTCH STILL ENGAGES ALL THE WAY OUT.
HOW DO I ADJUST CLUTCH TO GRAB WHEN LEVER IS CLOSER  TO GRIP AND STILL TRAVEL TO FULLY EXTENDED POSITION??
PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME REPLACING CLUTCH IS ONLY WAY - IF SO, LET ME KNOW ANYWAY
THANX
MARTY

I had the same problem when I bought my Savage.  The clutch lever hit the friction zone at the end of my finger tips.  I had to either pull it back in or just let go.  No in between.  Unfortunatly I can't tell you how to fix it but I know that it can be done.  It was the first thing that I addressed with the mechanic when I took the bike in for it's first service.  He adjusted it so that I now hit the fiction zone "mid finger" giving me plenty of room to work the clutch.
