Clutch cable adjustment

Postby steve_lawrence » Mon Jul 29, 2019 9:33 am

I recently had a new clutch fitted to my Li 150 Special and after a few miles it has developed clutch drag. Could someone please remind me which way to turn the cable to tighten it (it’s been a few years since I last did this so I’ve forgotten).
Hopefully a small adjustment will sort it while maintaining the play at the handlebars, I’m hoping I don’t have to move the trunnion.
Thanks in advance for any help.

To counteract drag using the cable you need to wind the adjuster on the block out (anti clockwise). If you find that you have very little adjustment left, you may need to loosen the inner cable at the trunnion on the arm, screw the adjuster back in, pull the inner cable tight and re tighten the allen key grub screw. This should then give you more adjustment at the block.
