RanchHand420 30 Posted February 5, 2020 The clutch dosnt seem to engage as much as it should. Im wondering if i can get it working better by decreasing the play. Im assuming that i need to loosen the nut then adjust the bolt. But any pointers as to how much i should adjust at a time, if i should increase or decrease play, or if this has nothing to do with the clutch and i need to stop, please let me know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcsman 1,359 Posted February 5, 2020 Most of the Honda engines adjust the same way. Loosen the nut then turn the screw counterclockwise until you feel pressure. Then turn clockwise around a quarter turn, tighten the nut back down while holding the screw so it doesn't turn. At least that's how my 450 manual says so bet yours will be very similar.... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toodeep 1,746 Posted February 5, 2020 It adjusts the play in the shift pedal and how far it push in the clutch to disengage it while shifting. The correct setting would be loosen lock nut, screw it out (counterclockwise) until slight resistance is felt and then 1/4 turn in (clockwise). If adjusted improperly it is possible it can hold pressure on the clutch and make them slip. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
