Clutch Adjustment Issue *Update*

[BuellRonin]

*I just wanted to post an update of my findings and end result solution to my clutch adjustment issue.*

I had an issue correctly adjusting the clutch on my bike. After several attempts of an easy process, I concluded it was something else.

After taking off the primary inspection cover (Derby Cover) and taking off the clutch ramp. I could see a problem right away with the clutch adjuster assembly.

I found the clutch adjuster assembly super wobbly. This would account for the "rattle" I heard when I tried to adjust the clutch properly.

I still took the primary cover off just to make sure nothing else had destroyed itself. Luckily, nothing else appeared damaged. There was a collection of metal shavings in the clutch adjuster assembly grooves. No clutch or other metal debris found.

"When the bearing goes bad, there is side movement in the inner race relative to the outer race, which uses up cable throw so you can never fully disengage the clutch."
