Bike is cold (sat overnight). Cable adjuster untouched with 1/8" gap. Clutch is working fine as in not slipping and it engages/disengages about midway through the lever pull.
I opened the derby cover, loosened the jam nut while holding the adjustment bolt still. I turned the adjustment bolt in (clockwise) 1/2 of a turn. Closed everything up and went for a test drive. The clutch slipped when I would really open the throttle in every gear.
Came back, let the bike cool. Opened the derby cover and (touched nothing else) and moved the adjustment bolt out (counter clockwise) and the clutch went back to nomal.
YES........ IF YOU LOOSEN THE CLUTCH CABLE EVEN IF A LITTLE AND then FINGER TIGHTEN THE center CLUTCH BOLT "IN",,,,, then loosen the cable AGAIN to make sure of adjustment on clutch basket.....
then REPEAT the clutch bolt adjustment AGAIN.... IF IT IS THE SAME 1/2 to 5/8 " out from against the clutch and your CABLE PLAY is loose,,, IT SHOULD WORK ,,, snug jamb nut....... THEN ADJUST THE CABLE TO THE 1/8 FREE PLAY and it should work...... IF NOT I'M THE IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
