Clutch cable adjustment - sprocket end
« on: 14 June 2020, 05:56:02 pm »

Just re-posted this in the FZS600 section after realising I'd posted it in the wrong place! Apologies.

Hi


I run a 2001 Fazer FZS600.



Just been trying to adjust the clutch cable via the front sprocket cover access as the handlebar adjuster is at the end of its travel.


The locknut holding the adjuster screw is incredibly tight and I'm wary of damaging anything. I've added a dose of penetrating oil but am I correct in thinking that the screw adjuster should be held whilst undoing the locknut rather than just weighing in with a 12mm socket and bar? Haynes manual only mentions the offset/crank spanner. Experimentally trying the locknut without holding the adjuster screw and I can feel resistance from the internal spring.


Any tips on loosening the locknut without causing damage, please?


Thanks in advance.
