How to Adjust Clutch on Motorcycle

[@kaseybowen]

Omg I searched for and started watching so many different videos that sucked on this topic. Yours was by far the best thank you

[@SelRod735]

Turn the key let the fuel prime for a couple seconds before you push your ignition.

[@PwnsJones]

+SelRod735 Thanks for the info. I have been doing that with no success. I wonder if I need to clean my injectors.

[@MichaelRiveraism]

+PwnsJones it's an ECU hot start issue. My 636 does it when it's over 180*. Always starts on second try. I believe there's a recall that gets your ECU swapped. And it's pronounced Dee-cal like calorie

[@MrThunderbirdfire]

Thanks, few suggestions: the tyre must completely stop when clutch is pressed and only starts moving when clutch is released. Clutch adjustment should be made when engine is cold because when its hot the clutch plates and wire expands causes more slackness after riding few miles. Theres one more adjuster nut right above the two nuts you loose and tight covered with rubber sleeve its used if we have not adjustable space left at the lever side adjuster nut. And the lever side adjuster nut threads should be more the 70% inside the lever so it doesn't have loose shaking movement.

My clutch was slipping in high gears and I didn't know why. I haven't been riding for 4 months because I don't have money to take it to a shop. I watched your video today and tried to adjust the clutch myself and it worked! Thanks to you I'm back to riding and didn't have to spend a dime!

[@JBAYMEDIA]

I have a brand new bike, want to make the catch point lower closer to the handlebar. Can you JUST adjust the handlebar part? Or do you need to also do the adjustment near the engine? Thanks

[@joeyalvarado9066]

eric, hey what do you know about the tron looking helmet?

[@roxane94114]

Thanks, this was super useful. My shop always gives me back my bike with the clutch too tight.

[@filoIII]

I LOVE the finger light flasher on the Kawis.

[@robertraymond4306]

this video was absolutely amazing I can't thank you enough! MC riders with tiny hands rejoice!

[@cortxt]

This is the best explanation of how to adjust your clutch. Super thanks for do it :)

[@MartinSage]

My Triumph mechanic took my cold bike out for a test drive and couldn't get it in 1st (I told him that it was easy to put in 1st after the bike was warm). He adjusted the cable tighter. Within a few days of driving it the damn cable Broke! He had put too much stress on the cable. Don't let your mechanic adjust your cable man. He made me get stranded 25mi from home. Also, carry an extra cable and tools for replacement so you won't get stranded like me. This is why I like hydraulic over cable.

[@muhamadabshar1083]

In neutral, is that normal that rear tyre moving? Mine not moving after a couple years using bike.

[@leemarksmith]

I think you've just saved me some head scratching! Level is fully out and slips like mad in higher gears! Going to get the tools out first thing in the morning!! ;)

[@chicomendez5324]

That’s exactly what I wanted to know , You nailed it . Thanks a lot ,

[@robertfisher8871]

Decals are dipped into water until they start coming off the backing. Stickers have a backing that you just peel off & apply the sticker. Good video on clutch adjustments.

[@HighwayTales]

Lovely video... When u press the clutch full in 1st gear , the rear wheel keep on rotating ... IS IT OK ?? I m afraid, of clutch burns ...

[@mrdishes7874]

That's fine. My brand new 2014 Ninja 300 ABS did that straight from the dealership. I've asked them about it too and they confirmed.

[@HighwayTales]

+DISHES On2wheels thanks

[@taylorbertrim7625]

A car stand on either side of the tire is what I've been using LMFAO

[@CahlosHTX]

Thanks for the video I did the same to my fz07 I got the clutch right where I want it. I need to adjust the clutch adjuster.

[@justride8663]

my bike is unable to roll when in gear and the clutch is pulled in.. but I can roll it when it is in neutral. the bike is off.what is my problem? this is my first bike and I have no idea.please help.

[@moto__shark]

Question, I had my clutch cable replaced and it seems like I'm wasting more gas and bike rides are higher RPMs. Does that have to do anything with a clutch cable adjustment? Thx!

[@MrGone2lake]

5:08 I'm glad you cleared that up. LOL, just kidding man, since I laughed when you said it, I thought I'd poke a little fun. THANKS for the video, I'm adjusting my clutch cable and this did help me a bit.

[@stevenparker9726]

You have fixed my ninja on many occasions. thanks pwns

[@jnrvmqc1]

i like the way you explained that. very useful. thank you.

[@HitMan222221]

Need to ask sir. If gear suddenly loose and went back in gear during riding... Is it the clutch cable problem? Please help me out 🙏🏾.

[@Justin_Krehbiel]

Thanks for making this video man! I just got a ninja 250 and my zone was almost to the end like yours but after adjusting it like you sed it fixed it! I was so worried after buying it that it needed a new clutch

[@aust4105]

Good vid. I got a Ninja 250, the clutch also grips only near the top. I don't understand who would adjust it like that.... It makes it hard to play with the clutch.

[@Botzz28]

I thought the wheel shouldn’t move when the clutch is disengaged ?

[@Anthony-qh1xv]

so the second I pull the clutch, that lever on the engine moves, but the clutch doesn't grab until you move it more. is this normal ??

[@skidstoleave]

Hey man great video, i adjusted my cbr250r clutch as it was same as yours. Engages right at the end. Now it engages half way and ive made it so theres way less travel in the clu5ch if that makes sense but now theres alot of play in it after fully released haha, all good

[@Shabunny636]

weezy hi I have more travel as well, is there a fix for that or is it just supposed to be like that?

[@snappy-T]

Same lol. Not sure if my clutch cable is stretched and if I need a new one or not

[@Gh..o..s..t]

mine has alway started in first RIP. sounds like. plug cleaning time.

[@snappy-T]

Nah injectors I reckon. I had original plugs and mine was still starting first go but who knows

[@kevinhummer7941]

So is the grip zone the point where the clutch disengages the transmission when u pull the lever in or is it.thenpoint where u start moving when u let yhe lever out from.a stop?

[@justindevosmusic]

Thanks mate this helped a lot

[@jacobh.7076]

adjust the throttle play. when you start your bike it shouldn't sound like that at all. it sounds like it's starving for fuel, either make some adjustments to your idle or adjust throttle. if you have done that, then you need to look at your fuel injectors.

[@ninjacruza7991]

Don't you have a lever play after adjusting the clutch ?

[@Shabunny636]

NinjaCruza I do have lever play, is that normal?

[@samqueen8337]

I get a lot of play after adjusting my clutch. Am i doing something wrong?

[@Shabunny636]

Sam Queen same here, have you found a solution or is that normal?

[@osamaabdulla4435]

Helpful video thanks man

[@littlejeffy5967]

i adjusted my clutch on my ninja 250 and now the actual clutch is super loose. how do i fix that?

[@chainsmoke6533]

Adjust your lever nut far away your lever

[@chemistryhacks5289]

That's the problem I faced with my friend's honda cb hornet 160 The clutch engages right at the top and the bike was moving at 3-4 kmph at the beginning of fiction zone inspite I gave 4k of RPM!

[@gr4ntbikes570]

Thank you so much for the stream my zr7s is the same no shop for me now. 😃

[@UnCivilEngineerIRL]

Dude, you can absolutely put the bike on the rear paddock stand by yourself, I have no idea what the wood is for. Leave the bike on the side stand, put the rear stand under the swing arm/bobbins and push down on the back of the paddock stand; the bike will stand up straight then and the other side of the swing-arm will sit into place. Grab the rear seat with your other hand if you want, you can hold it there all day with no real effort at all.

[@johncenakiwi]

interlaced video?!

[@iDayno]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@christiandustin]

This is not how you adjust a clutch. This is how you improperly set clutch free play.

[@mohdnizamhezmimohdnizamhez6465]

Nice bike

[@uptownsamcv]

I think you need to adjust the lever on your clutch cover.

[@hollywood84660]

Oh shit your live in Alberta Sweet I'm in Saskatoon SK

[@breathe462]

the spinning from the tire have nothing to do with the clutch!!

[@littlec916]

You definitely don't need 2 people to put the bike on a jack. I've been doing it myself for years with multiple bikes. Great video though!

[@angelito5880]

what the hell is a grip zone

[@gellotion]

When you pull in or let out the clutch lever, the range where you can feel the clutch start to grab. Lever all the way in is outside of the grip zone (clutch fully disengaged, feels like neutral). Then there's the grip zone where it starts to grab (engage. power is being transmitted to the rear wheel). After it's fully engaged the rest of the travel on the lever is free play. Does that help?

[@neilhamill318]

To be safe call them stickers. 😅

[@bhogeke1330]

you initially adjusted your clutch the wrong way!!

[@turnoffski]

It's not a decal...it's a sticker...lol

Funny how you feel confident to give a 'how to' to adjust a motorcycles clutch cable but you can barley put your motorcycle on a rear stand confidently and by yourself?
