The clutch on one of my kazuma 110 falkons was slipping, so i bought a new one and removed the old one. The original was in perfect condition. i reassembled the quad and the clutch seemed to work fine in 1&2 gears and stated slipping in 3rd. I tried to adjust ;and, too far one way and i can,t get the trans to shift into gear and toofar in the other direction and it won't move. I cannot seem to find the happy medium. please help. Does anone know the proper procedure to adjust this clutch?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

I don't know your model, but I know clutches. Are you adjusting at the engine or at the handlebar? Handlebar is a pretty limited adjustment. If you trace the line, you'll find a point near the engine where the cable is held stationary. There should be 2 nuts on either side of the brsacket. This will let you loosen or tighten the clutch cable for gross adjustments, then use the handlebar for fine adjustments.

Also,

Have you run any "high mileage" or "friction reducing" oils in it? These oils contain friction modifiers that can coat the plates and cause slippage.

Another idea: How did the plates look in the original clutch? Where they a dark brown color? If so, they may have gotten scorched and you'll never get them to grab right. They'll have tendency to "sieze" after they've been over heated.

Either of these two conditions, you'd be better off replacing them. If it was a friction modifier, you could try lightly sanding the plates, but the time for disassembly, etc. you'd be better off replacing the whole thing. But before you do, run several changes of regular oil through it, and drain it while hot each time to help get rid of the friction modifiers.
