Thunderace clutch bite point - can I adjust it?
|
I've just become the proud owner of a '97 Thunderace and want to know
whether I can adjust the bite point on the clutch lever. At the moment
it bites when the lever is more or less fully released which I dont
like.
|
Or to put it another way - you need very little pull on the clutch
lever to disengage the clutch. TBH I can't see any playing around with
fluid, reach etc changing that - it'll be a function of the mechanism
at the clutch itself. That means a strip-down at least.
I'd be inclined to live with it until the clutch goes.
|
|
I just sold my '96. The lever has a knob which adjusts the bite. Push
the lever away from the bar to release a pin from inside the knob,
turn it and try out the four positions until you find one you like.
|
That's a span adjuster Mike, not a clutch bite point adjuster.
|
Also, if it's got old fluid in it, [1] change it. And to finish off
the job set the clutch adjuster.
|
Cheers Mike, where would I find the clutch adjuster?
|
Want a manual? An electronic one is available from
|
Shall your descendants be blessed until the 7th generation...
|
I don't know - shall they?
|
I use an internal unsigned byte counter, which would probably overflow
after the 7th generation.
|
I think a *woooossshhhhh* is in order here..
(Hint: 'Shall' is an question - I think they word you were looking for
is 'may')
|
'Shall' can also be a statement (of intent), Whooshmeister. 'May' can
be a query too ...
|
Indeed. But they are used in a different fashion - 'shall' is where
permission is being sought, 'may' is not (usually)[2] used where
permission is being sought.
As in:
"Shall the fleas of a thousand camels infest your nose"[1] as opposed to
"may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your nose" - one is an
request interrogative and the other is not.
|
Not neskessessycelery, old bean. "I shall" is a statement of intent,
with no permission being sought. "I may" is also indicative of
intent, but perhaps allowing of an alternative. We could spin this
merry-go-round all night, you know ... but I have more important
things to attend to, which I shall now go and attend to - if I may.
|
Feel free old boy. I wouldn't dream of detaining you.
|
|
|
PS "An question"; "they word"?
|
Yes yes.. I was hoping no-one would notice. Curse you! Maybe the fleas
of a thousand camels etc etc!
Phil.
[1] Putting aside the issue of missing punctuation of course..
[2] Although it can be.

Others seem to have fixed that issue ages ago:
But Abram said, "O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue
childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?"a 3And
Abram said, "You have given me no offspring, and so a slave born in my
house is to be my heir." 4But the word of the LORD came to him, "This
man shall not be your heir; no one but your very own issue shall be
your heir." 5He brought him outside and said, "Look toward heaven and
count the stars, if you are able to count them." Then he said to him,
"So shall your descendants be."

Here's another: manuals, data and microfiches:
You can never have too many of these tagged, as they seem to come and
go like will o' the whisps.

|
I'm hoping that this isnt indicative of a problem.
|
The above should sort it out. Enjoy a gooood bike.
|
|
should be a large knurled dial next to the lever ?
|
probably not on the 'Ace clutch
