Thanks I've got some great info on these pages going to try tighten the lower part of cable and if that doesn't do it I'm going for new lever, cable , clutch gasket, friction plates and try using the old springs. She does go into gear very easily atm so I'm hoping nothing is too badly chewed up anywhere!!
Bo not over tighten the spring bolts.

Hi I tightened up to specs top and bottom of the cable as per Haynes and it seems quite stiff at the lever. Would you guys take it for a spin and see if clutch still slipping, or grease the cable or replace the cable first before. Maybe just needs a bit of driving to loosen it up a bit?
Quick question how do you open that tab on the inside of the cover at end of the cable that has been squeezed to death by yamaha or whoever changed last cable - can't get anything behind it nor a pliers onto it. Thanks
Hi I've tightened original cable and no gears when trying to get going. Changed cable and lever neutral light goes out and wheel spins in 1st gear on centre stand but no go on the ground. There's also a lot of resistance at the lever when correctly adjusted. I've come around to the other side and when trying to open clutch pressure plate bolts, the pressure plate turns while I'm trying to open them. Nothing else in there turns so I can't see what to block to stop it from turning and there are no grooves on it to catch with some tool or other. The investigation continues...!!
Great stuff however if someone was foolish enough to not put bike in gear before removing outer cover and then plates would that be OK or should all go back together carefully, put in gear and restrip cover ,springs,bolts and plates?
Wemoto does TRK branded sets of steel and friction plates 90ish pounds to get both sets. I have taken old plates out in exact order and put adjustable cable tie around them to keep them in order. I'll use a calipers to make sure each plate that goes back is the same shape and size as the one it's replacing. Anyone have experience of TRK stuff?
