Can you give me some advice on how to change a clutch cable?

My bike is stranded and i need to replace the cable to move it.

Honda VTX1300 2006.

I'm guessing the end that goes on the lifter is relatively simple but I have never looked at the clutch lever before.



Thanks for any help.Can you give me some advice on how to change a clutch cable?Good luck on push starting a vtx1300 anyway!



Put the cable in the handlebar side first, it's just a slip in end with a metal disc, and the cable routes thru the slit in the lever. Run the cable to the casing side, and you'll see the lever where the other side attaches. Use a flat head screwdriver to push the lever forward by hand, and slip the cable in the slot on the lever. When you let go of the lever, the slack will tighten up on the cable. Be sure you route the whole cable as the old one was, to insure theres no obsrtuctions, or pinching of the cable along the way. Adjust the cable at the bottom to take out any initial slack if needed, and do the final adjustments at the clutch lever adjuster.Can you give me some advice on how to change a clutch cable?np....glad to help! ride safe

How to tighten up an motorcycle clutch?

I have an 88 Ducati 750 Paso whose clutch is very loose-when I'm holding the clutch down and the bike is on 1st gear, the bike goes. I'm trying to play around with the screws at the end of the clutch cable, but no matter what I do the clutch is still loose. If anyone can help me with this problem, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.How to tighten up an motorcycle clutch?Most of the time when a bike moves forward while the clutch is in,the clutch basket is shot...it will have clutch plate grooves in it...wear mark's..The play/slack at your clutch hand lever..you should be able to fit a nickel in the gap when you first start to pull it in..before the cable starts to move..you don't want your cable tight..just a little slack...your adjustment should be at the lever/cable..How to tighten up an motorcycle clutch?There are usually two adjustments for the clutch cable. One is at the lever and one is at the point where the cable going into the clutch. Adjust the cable first at the lever. If it is out all the way the adjust the cable at the point of entry into the clutch (Adjustments to tighten clutch are usually to loosen the screws.) If both are at maximum then is is possible that the clutch cable has stretched. Before opening the clutch check your adjustments. With a bike the age of yours, I would not be surprised if that cable has just stretched too much.

How to replace the clutch master cylinder in an 86 Fiero?

The clutch master cylinder in my Fiero died last week and now I have to replace it. I think I might have an idea on how to do it but any advice anyone from someone with experience would be greatly appreciated.How to replace the clutch master cylinder in an 86 Fiero?Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable.



Disconnect the cylinder pushrod at the clutch pedal.



Disconnect and plug the hydraulic line at the master cylinder.



Remove the nuts attaching the cylinder to the cowl, then remove the cylinder.



To install:



Position the cylinder pushrod through the cowl and loosely install the cylinder-to-cowl nuts.



Connect the cylinder pushrod to the clutch pedal with the spring clip.



Tighten the cylinder-to-cowl nuts to 13 ft. lbs. (17 Nm).



Connect the hydraulic line to the master cylinder and torque it to 13 ft. lbs. (17 Nm).



Fill the clutch master cylinder with the recommended fluid.



When the hydraulic portion of the clutch system has been opened, air enters the system and has to be removed before proper operation can be restored. Use the following procedures to bleed the clutch hydraulic system.



Fill the fluid reservoir directly from a can of unused Delco Supreme No. 11 brake fluid or equivalent. Do not use the old fluid because old fluid is contaminated with moisture and dirt which may damage the hydraulic system.



Remove the floor mat or any other object that may obstruct the full stroke of the clutch pedal.



Unscrew the bleeder screw at the slave cylinder enough to allow fluid to be pumped out (1/2 - 1 full turn).



Push the clutch pedal down through the full stroke.



Have an assistant close the bleeder while the pedal is still fully extended. Allow the pedal to return quickly to its stop (with the bleeder Closed).



Repeat this procedure until no air bubbles can be seen in the fluid.

Does a clutch burn when you apply gas and slowly release the clutch?

I am learning how to drive manual transmission and need to know if the clutch burns when you are taking off if you give it a bit of gas first and then start to release the clutch?



Also what way is it better to take off?



1) Release the clutch a bit and then give it gas and than continue to release the clutch slowly?



2) Give it a bit of gas first and then start to release the clutch?



Thanks, the more answers I get the better!Does a clutch burn when you apply gas and slowly release the clutch?The following relates to starting from a standstill in low gear. Shifting gears usually doesn't require pressing the gas pedal until after the clutch is engaged.



A clutch always suffers a small amount of wear no matter how smoothly you release the pedal, but the least wear comes from giving no gas. The problem with that idea is the engine may stall. You can practice with your particular car to see what it takes. Some cars will stall; others won't. I always use the technique of letting out the clutch pedal a bit before giving any gas. When the clutch is not moving, the sudden contact with a fast spinning pressure plate will cause slipping and wear. If the clutch makes contact with a slow spinning pressure plate, it will start spinning. Then the increasing speed of the pressure plate as you give the engine gas will make the clutch spin faster.



In more than forty years of driving manual shift cars, I have had very few clutch problems.
