Hi Fellow bulleteers;
I have posted many times on this website both to give my opinion and to seek help. This is one asking for help. I recently opened the primary case and found the primary chain well adjusted. During the next few days I removed the clutch hub and drive sprocket I've bought a new clutch hub circlip and have tried to get things back together. The clutch rod is locked up and I can't turn it to make any adjustment. Before you post, I've removed the short rod and ball bearing. Even with the spring retainer cap off and the discs off the hub, and of course the adjusting locknut very loose, I can't turn the rod to adjust it. Any ideas as to why the long rod is locked up and resists turning. I've been able to adjust it in the past and it has turned easily with a sharp slot screwdriver. I've also backed off on the handle bar and gearbox adjusters so there is no tension on the cable. W/D 40 into the right side to free it up ? Is it way out of adjustment or dry in the shaft in which it turns for adjustment? Yes the locknut is turned way out so it is not holding the end of the long adjustment rod.
Pity, this is the best time for riding in NH.
