Clutch advice please!

Post by Romek »

Hi,

I was always under the impression that a low biting point meant there was plenty of wear left and the clutch could be adjusted. My biting point is on the floor, so i thought id investigate.

The adjustment screw is fully tightened so there is no thread left visible, so it seems i was wrong. Does anyone know what might be going on?

All the links and the carbon thrust will have worn - put a spacer on the shaft and then you can tighten a bit more which should keep you going for a few more miles - but i would start looking for a replacement without delay......
