spongy clutch

[fazersharp]

Yes that plate is supposed to be a sound proofing/damping thing that they did away with on later models.

Yes there is indeed a second clutch ajuster on the outside of the sprok cover its part of the gubbins that the spring attaches to.
There is some very useful info on here somewhere  try this and the pdf http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,17488...#msg201488
There is a lock nut you need a long socket for and then a screwdriver, never done myself - never needed to

Oh Dear!
Just had a look at that PDF link that you displayed, don't like the look of all those ball bearings, so hope I never have to get into that scenario.
I have a pump/pressure cable oiler so I lube my cable at least twice each year.
The cable runs remarkably freely through the out cable sohopfully with all teh lubing my cable will last and I may never have to get into adjusting the lower fitting.
Thank for the info Sharpie  :thumbup  I did not know about that.
That one of the good things about FOC-U there is a mine of information and knowledge out there, and it great for the crack to.  :lol


Just downloaded that PDF and saved it to my Fazer folder on my computer, just incase.

When adjusting the clutch cable especially after fitting a new clutch cable, start at the sprocket cover adjuster

This is easy enough to do, but before you do ensure the pivot hole in the clutch lever is not elongated from use, because if it is your wasting your time until you replace it.

Screw in the cable adjuster full at the lever end.

Remove the rubber bung on the sprocket cover
Loosen the lock nut with a deep spanner ( it will loosen with a crack and frighten the crap out of you)
Turn the lock nut anti clockwise a full turn
Hold you fingers lightly on the clutch lever
Turn the centre screw clockwise with a good fitting flat screwdriver
You will feel the lever moving out
Keep turning the screw until the lever is about 5 to 6mm from the lever housing.
Tighten the locknut.
Replace the rubber bung

Make the final fine adjustments with the cable adjuster at the lever
