Clutch engagement?
05/08/12 3:56 PM

Just curious here. I put my 14R up on the stand to do some maintenance and put the bike into 1st and with the clutch in the rear wheel slowly turned a bit. When I let the clutch out and back in, it took a long time for the wheel to stop. (Obviously, I had the bike running!)

Normal? Adjustable? The bike rides fine otherwise.

Thanks!

I have not had my 14R running on a stand. On the R1 I had previously, the wheel turned with the motor running and the clutch lever in.

Mine does it too... and my Roadstar.
I think its normal for just aboot any scooter with a wet multi-plate.

The manual says the only provision for adjustment is changing the steel plate thickness of the clutch pack.
Even then i think its for justification of the overall pack length... not necessarily for changing the point of engagement on your lever.
My two cents. :)
