I have way too much free play in my clutch and the adjuster at the base of the lever isn’t solving my problem. There is about 2.5” of free play that I can’t get out and it’s so bad that I have to push the lever back with my fingers after I’m done shifting just so I can get my fingers around the handlebar.
I looked this up in the service manual and it mentions adjusting the lever using the bolts attached to it under the tank and next to the air box. I’ve gotten this far, however, what the manual doesn’t mention is that this adjustment is squeezed so tight between the air box and the frame, there’s no room to turn any wrenches in there. I found a walk through for this in an older post that says to remove the air box but that seems easier said than done and I can’t seem to find instructions for that in the manual. All of the rubber hoses are making me feel nervous about disconnected the box. I already popped the cover to the box open and replaced the air filter, and there is some other maintenance I will do but this has me stuck. Anybody have advice?
