[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 55366, member: 456"] Regarding Rob H's posting above (34), he should have received an instruction sheet with the needle roller thrust race modification for the clutch lifting mechanism. It is certainly true that one looses one adjustment, the one in the middle of the original clutch outer plate, but that still leaves two; the one in the kick starter cover and the one in the clutch cable. I do not have the instructions with me for reference at the moment but it should read along the following lines. First put the adjustment in the kick starter cover in the middle of its range. Roughly assemble the clutch with the new parts and measure how far out the outer clutch plate is from the friction disc when it is pushed fully inwards. Then shorten the newly supplied push rod by that amount. Note that one end of the new push rod is left soft and the other end hardened (discoloured) so there should be no doubt as to which end is which. If you are doubtful about getting it right first time then make sure that you cut too small an amount off and then repeat the measurement.. Once you have it right, fit the push rod into the top hat shaped part and fix it with either silicon mastic or Loctite. You are then left with the possibility of combining adjustment of the cable length and the kick start cover adjustment to ensure that there is enough clearance and enough cable slack to give everything a nice feel. There should be absolutely no need for shims or any other finicky means of adjustment. I'm a simple lad and try to make any mods simple for others too. [/QUOTE]
