860 Clutch Cable slack when warm
Posted: Sat Apr 09, 2022 7:47 am
Hi All,
The 860 is coming along nicely. I have noticed that when warm , the free play in the clutch cable increases substantially when the motor warms up completely. If I set the cable to have some discernible play when cold, 20 minutes later there is a lot more. So my shifting is good when relatively cold, and is not as good when warm . This results in doing more hunting for neutral when warm. I can set the cable much tighter when cold and then it slackens when hot. I get about .092" of lift at the pressure plate , measured with a dial indicator . I have a new Venhill cable and I inspected the clutch when it was apart and things looked pretty flat.
Any comments would be welcome.
Cheers
Kara
