Clutch slave adjustment
 
Hi.
After experimenting with various brackets, the slave is in. Any advice on how to adjust it? What is the proper installation? I must admit I do not understand the instructions in the manual. . .
Thanks.

If I remember the instructions correctly you push the adjustment rod all the way into the slave cylinder and them back the adjuster out until you have 1/4 inch of free play on the throw out bearing arm.
Note: It take a fair amount of force to get the adjustment rod to bottom out in the slave cylinder.

The slave cylinder has an internal spring that forces the piston out to its furthest extended position.

1/ Remove the external return spring.

2/ Push the fork forward (toward the slave). The amount of motion indicates the clearance at the throwout bearing.

3/ Adjust the rod-link so you get 1/8"-3/16" motion at the fork.

4/ Re-install the external spring. The spring must be strong enough to pull the fork forward to bottom out the slave.
