Ok, on my 00 cr125, i don't have a book for it and it's been 6 years on a bike so i don't know how much clutch lever play is suppose to be. The guy before me had it setup so the clutch had no play, but i would think this would burn up the plates, so i adjusted it so there is some slack, but now, when i pull the clutch in all the way and put it in gear, the bike kinda jumps forward like the clutch isn't disengaged all the way but the clutch is all the way to the bar.
i'm used to streetbikes, you have to have play in them or you burn up the clutch, are dirtbikes suppose to be stiffer? Or is this lurch forward normal clutch drag with the lever in? I don't want to burn up my clutch by having pressure on the plates with a too tight clutch lever.
oh ya, the lurch isn't like, that bad, it doesn't start driving away, it just jumps forward a bit but doesn't drive. also, i have 20w50 oil in it, that thick oil might cause this also right?
thanks for the help.
also, could this just mean my clutch is worn? I figured it wouldn't drag enough if it was worn but i'm not a mechanic.
