Hello everyone! I purchased a used 2012 nc700x manual version. It only has about 6400 miles so a lot of this just seems crazy to me with so few miles.
When I have the clutch lever adjusted (using the adjustment on the side casing and at the lever) with the correct specs of free play, it drags and the clutch won’t fully disengage. So the bike will start walking with the lever fully pulled to the handlebar. I can adjust the clutch tighter without any free play, to get it to work like a normal clutch and fully disengage, but then it’s partially disengaged all of the time and will surely burn out the discs in no time and slips during moderate acceleration.
I ordered a new clutch cable, friction discs, metal discs and went to change it. After putting in the new discs I have to tighten the side case adjustment to its tightest setting and the tightest setting at the handlebar and it’s still not disengaging the clutch.
I have pulled up the parts diagram at Revzilla parts diagram and every part in the clutch is present, all washers, everything. I’m at a loss and can’t seem to figure it out.
Just looking for any advice or suggestions. Also, when I put the clutch center rod into the shaft in the clutch outer guide, there’s nothing in that shaft, it’s just empty straight through to the other side. Should there be anything in that shaft that the clutch center rod pushes against?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
