Just put new main bearings and a built crank on this '02 yz250, and since I had it apart it was also time for some new clutch plates and springs.
When I put the whole mess together... no extra parts.... there now is all kinds of slack in the clutch actuator arm and hence in the cable. With almost all the adjustment taken out the clutch lever has to be pulled to the bar to get any clutch action. :yikes:
I have not started it yet, but is this due to the friction plates being new and since I soaked them in oil first they are thicker?
I have been all over the manual and can't find anything different or out of place, I even took the clutch all apart again to see if it was put together wrong. :|
There is quite a bit of "free play" in the push rod before it makes contact with the pressure plate. :bang:
Any help.....????
Thanks in advance.
