TracyPrier Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hi guys Quick question: Should the clutch lever free play be 7mm or 10mm on this? I know it was originally one setting but BMW changed it... can't remember which way 'round though God Bless Tracy Link to comment
GordonB Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I believe it should be about a 1/4" at the lever minimum. Link to comment
chrisolson Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 7mm is what I remember setting my '99 at...don't believe that changed for '00. Link to comment
Mudman Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Tracy, Three steps; 1 Adjust the distance between the lever side clutch cable ferrel and lock nut to 12mm. This should remain set adjustment. 2 Loosen 13mm lock nut at rear of gearbox and Adjust the 10mm bolt it locks to get 3 7mm freeplay between the front lever and housing Gap. Once you have the 7mm gap lock the 13mm nut at the rear of the gear box and you are done. getting to that lock nut and bolt can be a real PITA. what works for me is a 1/4 drive rachet and long extension (wobble works great), a 1/4 drive universal deep 13mm socket, and a universal 10 mm socket. Any thing that gets you around the rear suspension and wheel from the right side will work. Note: do this while the bike is cool. The freeplay will reduce with a heated clutch and clutch wear.

Vincent Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Originally on the R1100RT free play was 5mm, they changed it to 7mm. Link to comment
