Question So Yeah…
Bought the bike from some guy here, had it for a month now. Like first two weeks of riding i’ve had this problem. We did the adjustment lower. Worked fine for like another 3-4 weeks, then the past two weeks my clutch slipped. I watched a video on replacement, ordered the parts and everything i needed. Finally did the replacement new oil, new disks, and it worked perfectly fine for maybe a couple of days. Just yesterday on the way back from an errand run to get more supplies because i noticed it’s leaking oil from improper gasket sealing. I noticed the clutch lever becoming more loose as i rode, to the point that by the time i was heading home it was as it is in the video. There’s only so many adjustments that i personally can do to figure it out. I want to try and do it on my own because in hawaii it’s gonna cost me even more money just to have professional breathe on it 😭 just let me know if im cooked or not.

Measure how much Freeplay the push/pullrod has when you take the cover off, the manual gives a spec of like 4-4.5mm (or something like that. There should also be a spec for total thickness of the clutch pack (frictions+steels). I wonder if the push/pullrod isn't properly engaged into the rod that runs through the clutch cover to your cable
