94CBR1000F clutch lever travel
Hi everyone....I have just bought a 94 CBR1000f and was wondering if someone can tell me how much travel the clutch lever should have....mine goes out a fair bit before it bites but doesnt slip at all, and I only need to pull it in a few millimeters and it slips....as it appears to be a hydrolic clutch (no cable adjustment) is this a sign of the clutch almost worn out or is that perfectly normal....is there any adjustments that can be made
Any help will be really apprieciated.....
Cheers

Giday Tony ....welcome to the CBRF mate...
I moved your post here to give you a better chance at getting responses..
The lever should have very little free play and it should not be firm from the very start...
A measurement though could depend on many things..
As a guide , you should have about 1/4 - 1/2 inch at the lever ... that feels free ...any more than that and you prolly need to look at a few things...
BTW- they do tend to take up (grab) near the end of the levers travel when engaging...

Thanks for the prompt reply mate....yeah the lever does feel a little stiff compared to my dirtbike 08 KLX250 the frustrating thing is my gear changes up are somewhat jerky (changing down is ok because I can put a little blip on the throttle to smooth it out.....so instantly want to blame the bike LOL

Mine bites near the end of release, replaced the fluid today, (on my '94) it looked quite dark through the sight glass, heaven knows how long it has been since it was last changed, as I've only had the bike a short while, it seems better for it, I plan to do a couple of hundred miles tomorrow 2-up, (weather permitting) so we shall see......
