[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 31745, member: 2708"] Keith, insufficient lift can be a problem. As things heat up, The cases and the clutch pack expand more than the steel push rod. This expansion creates extra slack at the lever. With my v2 I have it set so that there is no cable slack when cold. In fact the clutch will slip in fourth if pushed hard, but only for the first five minutes of riding. After about five minutes a little slack shows up and the clutch holds firm. This slack increases if things get really hot.There is just enough lift for city stop/start riding. Fitting a dural clutch push rod with hardened ends is a good idea for v2 or v3 cltuches. The dural pushrod expands with the cases so the cable slack stays fairly constant. Its on my list. On edit: I see thst the club sells an adjuster Et 27/2ss which is for multiplate clutches. According to the info given, it will provide an extra 10 to 15 thou of lift. This along with the dural pushrod should provide plenty of lift. Glen [/QUOTE]
