i recently fitted an aftermarket clutch lever to my 02 rsvr, i thought all was well but after about 5 minutes riding the clutch was slipping in every gear until quickly i was unable to get enough drive to pull away. i have not had a hint of slip prior to this.
i think the problem may have been that i wound the clutch push rod out more than it was originaly in an attempt to alter the biting point, could this have meant the clutch was not fully engaging?
in order to test the theory i tried screwing the push rod in again, it snapped off
Aprilia only sell the whole lever with push rod and nut at 90 quid a pop thats not an option.
my questions are, does my slipping theory sound possible and also has anyone snapped the push rod and crafted their own because i'm desperate to sort the problem so i cant ride to the world supers at end of the month.
cheers in advance
