On my BS, I need to set some 1/4" freeplay in the clutch adjuster, otherwise it slips when hot. It doesn't seem to lose the freeplay when hot - anyone any idea why it slips in this way and I need so much free play (which limits of course the amount of lift, resulting in a bit of drag). Could it be something to do with wear in the actuator arm?
Also, what's the correct throw on the handlebar clutch lever. Mine is 7/8" (pivot to cable). On Vincents, should they be greater, like on the Velocettes (which I think are 1 1/8")?
Thanks for any thoughts.
