clutch

[chrisss]

I have recently acquired a 2004 200sx and have had clutch problems ever since I got it. When the clutch lever is pulled all the way the clutch itself is only partially disengaged. I am new to this and no nothing about the Magura hydraulic clutch. I have bled (and reverse bled) the system and still nothing. Also I don't know what the red star knob is for and know nothing about the adjustments. Could somebody please help?

If your reversed back bled the clutch from the slave up and got
no more bubbles, then:

1. Have you adjusted the free play in the lever. There is a little knob on the lever that will adjust that.

2. The oil in the transmission might be a little heavy and causing some drag. You could try a different oil. Also, make sure the bike is really warmed up before you try dead engine starts. The oil will be thinner then.

3. The clutch plates are worn. The should measure .107" and no thinner
than .103".
