It sounds like your clutch has too much free play - are you saying that it disengages with the clutch lever pulled very close to the grip, and engages with the lever only a short distance from the grip?

If this is true, then you must have a large amount of free play in the lever, or you must have air in the line.

Try bleeding the clutch line, then see how it acts. If the lever is still too close to the grip when the clutch disengages/engages, then use the adjustment screw on the lever to set the lever position to an engagement/disengagement point that you are more comfortable with.

I assume sprintex was happy with our replies as he has not come back????

Hi all. I have not really done anything with the Paso clutch. Tried the adjustment screw but it is frozen. The Paso is kind of on the back shelf while I put my LeMans back together and the KLR needed a new chain and rear tire.
I also discovered the rear wheel bearings are shot, which kind of surprised since the bike only has 18000 miles on it.
My problem, beside the hard pull is the clutch disengages right at the start, farthest from the handle. Makes it hard to slip the clutch and make a smooth start.

Thanks, I'll try a with a little more effort.

Ah come on, a little WD40, some grease. they will be good as new. Oh I'm sorry thought I was on the Guzzi fourm.

What's the difference
Ciao
