i dont like the way my clutch is right now...
its hard to explain but ill try my best.
ok so i pull in the clutch all the way. then i let it go slowly to find where it grabs and starts to go
it grabs at the last centimeter on the clutch lever...
i would like to have about 1-inch of play were i can slip the clutch then only 1-cm

i would like the clutch to grab after 1-cm of letting it out but it grabs after 1-inch of letting it out
so in other words i dont have much clutch play or slipage

hopefully you understand that if not ill try it again

thanks alot

So what you are asking is that you want to only have to pull in the clutch like 1 cm for it to disengage?

no im saying thats what it is right now
i want to pull it in 1inch to disengage

my guess its out of adjustment. Should be about 1/8 inch play in the cable.

i dont think you get what im saying
there is 1/8 of an inch back and forth on the lever until it actually pulls back
im saying that when it starts to pull back (after that 1/8 of play in the lever) i only have 1-cm of play (in the lever) to slip the clutch. i want 1-inch of of play (on the lever to slip te clutch)

i want it to be like this:
i put it in 1st i slowly let out on the lever and after 1cm of letting out on the lever i wanted it to slip a little and the more i let out the lever the more i want it to grab
it does this:
i put it in 1st and slowly let out on the lever after 1-inch of lettin out the lever thats when it starts to grab.

so i can hardly slip the clutch

wow that took me a whole 20 min to try and figure out
