Did you adjust the cable?

 

[Markgonzalez]

No I did not adjust the cable I installed new clutches and I am trying to alight the arrow pointing down and the dot on the clutch cover because they don't want to match up when I put the clutch cover back on

 

[Markgonzalez]

How do you align the clutch cover cable with the arrow pointing down and the dot I can't get it to line up together and I have tried it like 50 times

 

[Markgonzalez]

We'll I got the arrow on the clutch cover to line up with the dot but now the bike seems to be very stiff through the gears just trying it out with the bike off rolling the bike through the gears is that the way it's supposed to feel. Let me know so I can pour the oil in the bike. If it's not supposed to feel like this and I got to start over don't want to waist good oil

 

[Markgonzalez]

Just want to know I have been searching and can't seem to find the answer on the search web. Does anybody help and answer your questions here on this web site. I wanted to know if the bike is supposed to feel stiff while rolling it through the gears while off walking it through the gears with out oil. I just installed the clutches and plates with spring.dont want to waist good oil so if any body can tell me I am good to go and poor oil because it feels real stiff

Try pulling some slack out of the cable. Get it close on the bottom, then fine tune up top to your liking.

I've always noticed new clutch plates are stickier when new. So I've seen what you're describing. Did you soak the new plates in a pan of oil before installation? That usually helps but is still stiffer than your old ones. They are after all new so will have more friction. How that helps.

Thanks for your reply let me go take it out for a test run and hopefully everything works good on the bike
