Decided to have a bit if an outing this morning and stop for lunch...
Prior to leaving home I thought I'd check the clutch adjustment, not for any particular reason as it was performing well, being really smooth etc etc.
Out with the lolly stick ( 201 mm one of course ) to measure the gap between the casing and the crescent moon on the actuator arm. Id had a gap of about 1500 mm to much cable , so promptly decided to adjust it to gain the correct 201mm +/- 1 mm or so.
Annnnnyway....
I'm now pretty much where I was after screwing the actuator arm adjust screw all the way in, I only gained about half a turn but the lever free play is pretty much spot on but ( and here's the but) no adjustment left on the screw, its butted up right to the none threaded part.
Up to the lever next, I had to adjust the lever screw what seems like all or most of the way out leaving an exposed thread amount of 1700 mm , so can't be much left to bring out any further in future if needed ?
It seems I'm right on the limit of both adjustments, but the clutch is spot on as is the gear box, all very smooth etc.
Question is:
Does this mean the clutch is getting towards the end of its useful life or is there another method / methods to free up more adjustment as and when required ?
I should add clutch bites about 1/2 way to 2/3 out from the bars.
