hey i was wondering if anybody knew how tight to tighten the clutch on a 88 lt250r. and where too find a sway bar or if anyone knows how much it whould cost to repair one

 

You "tighten" the clutch by adjusting the cable. I don't know where to get a sway bar, are you going flat tracking or drag racing?

 

hey hodg, welcome to the forums, im sure by sway bar you mean an anti-sway bar? well if you want one go here. http://www.lsracing.com/suzuki-lt250-lt500-parts.htm its about 260 bucks from lonestar racing.

 

are you talking about how tight to torque down the clutch spirngs or to tighten it with the cable? Yea you would only need a sway bar for tt or flat tracking

 

well how tight do ya tighten the bolt and the springs i know on a car ya tighten the bolts to a torque but hell if i know on something like this first time tearing into a small engine usaly its been 4 cycles and jet engines lol... oh its the rear sway bar i forgot too mention that its cracked on the part that the bolt gos into to hold the engine

 

Well, there is no "sway bar" on an LT stock, can you describe it better, take a pic, or maybe look it up on an online microfiche?

 

i think he may mean the swingarm?

 

Kind of what I was thinking too, but who knows?

 

Same I am either thinking the swingarm,axle or pivot bolt that holds the swingarm in place...if you put in a new clutch the disks need to be in a certain way and need certain porcedures and if thats what you are doing then ask but if all you want to do is tighten the grab on the clutch then you can tighten it by the lever at the top there are nuts that you turn to tighten the tension but make sure the clutch is engagingif not you could ruin the clutch or if it is too tight you could also do the same so bake sure you know where it is set now just incase you overtighten or loosen it

 

ohh yeah my bad swing arm sorry was looking up sway arms earlier... so well ive got the clutch every other like they had befor but i pull the clutch in theres no play and its tuff as crud too pull in with both tighteners on the lever and elbow both as lose as they can go do i need to back off the clutch spring bolts ?
