I have a couple of 550's. I am right at the end of a 550 cafe project. Last time I had the bike up, I put new clutch plates in it.
WHen I rebuilt the clutch, the little actuating arm did not line up with the little notch. ( no I didn't leave out the super thin shim )
The little arm will start farther engaged than it should. In other words, I don't have enough adjustment in the cables to get the clutch setup like it should on any other bike. WIth both adjustements all the way out, there is like half a pull of empty before the clutch disengages the plates.
Its almost like the little barbell is too short???
ANy ideas?
