Thank you, will try.
The clutch adjustment is at the highest it can be on the thread. However, I haven't bolted the clutchplate very far down. just enough so that I had to use a wrench to get it tighter. Maybe a got a bit shy on that part.

Maurice:
What do you mean 'highest'? As in, 'cable as tight as a piano string'? If so back it out give it some slack. For the kickstarter to work the clutch must be engaged (i.e: hands off the lever).

What clutchplate are you referring to? In my mind the only clutch plates are the friction and pressure (metal) ones and they aren't bolted.

What did you have to use a wrench on?

Toustic:
Clutch spring plate and the 4 bolts I'm talking about:


Before, the plate was not bolted down enough and would actually stick out in comparison to the clutch basket, now I have bolted it dowm a bit further, and it looks like this:

Are there two steel plates together in the middle of the stack (look at the gap between the fibre plates) ? Or are the plates sticking and not sliding close together ?

Kev

Maurice:
Oh ok. Well those bolts do need to be tight, careful these things are fragile, tight but not "oops" tight.

Probably a combination of them not tight enough and the rod (thing with a ball head) being pushed when you put the cover back on?

Hope you figure it out.
