Author Message   Buelleaver Posted on Friday, September 02, 2011 - 12:01 am:        Ok , my x1 has ran great for me the last couple of years. But all of a sudden My 3rd to 2nd and 2nd to 1st down shifts have become very very hard. Natural is now A real pain to find. Never was before. Up shifts still seem ok. Anybody know what's going on?   Two_seasons Posted on Friday, September 02, 2011 - 03:02 am:        You need to do a clutch adjustment. Will take you about 30 minutes start to finish.   Buellistic Posted on Friday, September 02, 2011 - 05:19 am:        CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT Class 101, just PM me if you want a copy ...   Natexlh1000 Posted on Friday, September 02, 2011 - 07:12 am:        Sudden change in clutch like that? Check your cable where it connects to the lever. Mine did that and I was down to two strands!   Buelleaver Posted on Saturday, September 03, 2011 - 12:36 am:        Thanks for the advise guys. I adjusted the clutch about 6k ago, so it’s about time to check anyway I guess . I hope that’s all it is, but I’m worried it’s a lot worse. The clutch still feels fine. Just the right amount of free play. Engages / disengages right where it always has. About 28 k on the bike. Not sure how long these clutches last..   Two_seasons Posted on Saturday, September 03, 2011 - 09:26 am:        Is it possible your drive belt is too tight?   01x1buell Posted on Saturday, September 03, 2011 - 09:48 pm:        yes the drivebelt being to tight is a big thing to look at.   Buelleaver Posted on Sunday, September 04, 2011 - 01:03 am:        No, the belts pretty loose. haven't adjusted that for a long time. Hopefully will have time to adjust clutch tomorrow.   Two_seasons Posted on Sunday, September 04, 2011 - 05:07 am:        Make sure you check drive belt tension when you ARE SITTING ON IT.
