I replace push rods with stainless rod cut to length.bit of grease on both ends.I've had cheap cables be tight in past esp when there curved around head stock.have you checked the actuator cam in cover for binding at all the balls can dislodge when the cam gets worn.cheers.

SATANSAM Posted May 24, 2019 Author Posted May 24, 2019 Hi and thanx Daveyboy! Nice to know all this. I've tried adjusting the actuator on the in the cam cover, loosening the nut ant unscrewing the screw that backens the actuator, but seems there's no more play or "space". If I press the brake handle without screwing the cam cover the it's smoother of course but the cam is pushed back out my the actuator...A bit difficult to explane but anyway haha Thanx again! Quote
Hacri Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 Will the screw go further in than the outside of the nut? Quote
SATANSAM Posted May 31, 2019 Author Posted May 31, 2019 Hi Hacri,mmm I'n not sure, I'll have a try! Quote
SATANSAM Posted June 10, 2019 Author Posted June 10, 2019 Hey thanx Hacri! I'm going to give it a try. Cheers m8 really apreciated Quote
Hacri Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Mine was also hard, but adjusting got it better, and with motion pro clutch cable it was like butter. Quote
SATANSAM Posted June 10, 2019 Author Posted June 10, 2019 I just did it but no luck. Well, I did try before about a month ago without knowing well what I was doing and it got smoother...Anyway, I've got the new push rod for 15€ a week ago, I'll get to it in the next oil change. Thanx again Hacri! Quote
SATANSAM Posted July 17, 2019 Author Posted July 17, 2019 Hi friends, The clutch was still hard, but could ride the bike...Saying this, going don the mountain road, the clutch cable came out the actuator or clutch release, however it's called, and had a terrible accident. 15 stitches and bad back. I'll never go through this again. Just to let everyone know whats happened and what can happen if the push rod isn't changed. Cheers friends, Sam. Quote

SATANSAM Posted November 13, 2019 Author Posted November 13, 2019 Hi there amigos, I changed the push rod, it was very simple, I can show photos and do a simple tutorial if anyone needs to know how to do it in this same bike. The clutch is perfect now, gears change so smoothly. Anyway, gettin there with the restoration....But still very naked as you can see! Cheers friends. Quote

The clutch was smooth and workinf really well, but I noticed it keeps loosening! not from the lever and not from the cranckcase...everything well adjusted at lever, cranck and release screw and nut....Seems to be loosening somwhere inside?!?!?! Cheers. Quote
