Too Much Freeplay on Clutch

[Cruiserian]

Hi Guys!

 

I've short fingers, so if I follow the free play allowance recommended by the owner manual, it's still too far away for me. So i increased the free play and it is exceeded the recommendation from the owner manual, gear changing is still smooth, acceleration is fine too. But I am worry will there be any side effect if too much free play?

 

Thanks.

No. But generally, the more your free play, the more you will tend to throw your clutch.

hi. i also have short fingers. my clutch also had alot of free play. whatever suits you, that's why it's adjustable right? haha

Mine has little, I do my gear changes quickly, I tend to have to. To each his own.

I don't really know how to say this but i find the free play don't really make a difference when it comes to the biting point. Its basically like this.

 

Alot of free play = Shorter length to biting point, half clutch, but same distance as little free play to fully engage the clutch. Then alot of play when fully released.

 

Basically,

 

Alot of free play:

Clutch in >>>>>>>>> Half clutch >>>>>>>>> Fully engaged gear >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Fully released

 

Little Free play

Clutch in >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Half clutch >>>>>>>>> Fully engaged gear >>>>>>>>> Fully released

 

The half clutch to a fully engaged gear, the distance will always be the same no matter how much much freeplay you have.

Thanks for the reply, I am glad to hear that. I will go easy on the clutch then.

Haha. Yes, that's what I thought too, but manual stated the free play allowance that really bothers me, so I better clarify here. Sometimes I just simply hate the manual, they tell you this but never explain why. Hahaha.

since there are aftermarket clutch levers for super4, might as well get it.

 

its adjustable and dun break easily when dropped.
