Mate this video is great thanks a million Ive just gotten my first VStar 650 classic and been riding it a couple of months now, Ive just put new handlebars on it that are a bit more comfortable position and been having trouble with clutch slipping, amazing how slightly changing the height or width of the bars can make a big difference in the clutch
-Thanks for posting this! It is very helpful. I have a dumb, really dumb question. Is this procedure to adjust the free play of the clutch lever? Or is it to adjust where within the clutch lever's movement (after it's engaged and no longer in the free play) that the clutch begins to put the bike in gear? Or both? My bike free play seems fine but I think it isn't getting in gear until I let the lever almost all the way out. I am wondering if I need to do this to fix it, or actually open up the bike.
@@AnthonyFishervlogs OK, great. I am going to do these adjustments on my bike. My clutch just feels a little off right now and I think this will fix it. Thanks again for the how-to!
That doesn't adjust your clutch, all that does is adjust when you clutch engages and disengages. A clutch adjustment is done in the actual clutch,in the clutch baskets
Idk how anything inside the clutch is adjustable it's just plates and springs that get torque to spec iv replaced clutches before and never adjusted anything in the basket
I see Harleys have an adjustment I'm not doing that till maybe next time I change the oil and I'll see if mine have it. Iv only done dirt bike and are clutches
I had to go double-check on RUclips my bike does not have that adjustment in the clutch basket must be a Harley thing I Googled it the guy was doing it on a Harley
You did not adjust your clutch all you adjusted was your clutch cable. I have the same bike. It has an adjustment inside the basket. There's a little Rod that pushes the ball that you have to adjust

Down by the engine adjustment is where it will adjust when it engages and up by your lever will adjust the free play

Right on!
Hell yeah brother cheers 🍻
I think this issue with the clutch also causes overheating.
Do u know how to make it so it engages sooner? Mine doesn't grab till it's like all the way out. I'm used to clutch engaging like half way
I would have to do a video on it do u have play in your lever ?
@@AnthonyFishervlogs I'm not sure bike is in shop but I'll check when I get it back
Love the video. After this was done did you notice your clutch engaging sooner with the lever? Thanks
I like it set right close to the end but yes
Hell yeah
🤘🤘🤘🤘
The ressistance it's because the oil is cold!
i have the same bike, i hear a whistling noise coming from what sounds like around rear wheel. any idea why?
When moving ? Maybe brakes ?
Those are the rear drum brake pad, the same with mine
