The main reason you would adjust your clutch is to enable you to give drive from your engine to the back wheel of the dirt bike. You want to adjust the clutch so that there will be no pressure on the clutch, if you don’t do this the engine will tend to slip when it is under loaded. If you over adjust your clutch that the engine will no lover turn over. Many believe this is a kick start problem; however it is the clutch removing from the engine. Depending on if you have a semi automatic of a manual clutch will determine how you will adjust it.
To adjust a manual clutch you will first need to unscrew the two small screws located on the right hand side casing. Next you will need to undo the 10 mm nut and remove the grub screw. You should next tighten up the grub screw until you begin to feel a slight pressure against the nut. Turn the grub screw back approximately 1/6 of a turn and tighten up your lock nut. Now we need to replace your side cover with the two small screws. The last step to adjusting your clutch for a manual clutch is to undo the adjusters and slightly back off the lever adjusters. Tighten the adjuster and take some slack out of the cables until you have 3 mm of space available at the lever.
Adjusting the clutch for an automatic clutch is much easier than the manual version. Remove the side casing by undoing the nut located on the right hand. Next you will need to remove the grub screw by turning it clockwise (to the right). Now you need to tighten the grub screw back into place by turning it to the left until pressure is felt. Turn the grub screw 1/6th of a turn to the right to loosen it slightly. The last step in replacing the automatic clutch is to reattach the side casing and tightening up the nut.
kinda on the same subject is that to make sure that u do not over tighten the clutch lever to the bars. u want it to be able to rotate on the bar in case of an impact. u can tighten it down pretty snug and itll still move in an impact. u dont need to have it loose and floppin around. also same goes for yur brake lever. this will save u money.
thanks for the tip :-D keep em coming

does anyone know how to drive a 1971 bridgestone dirt bike, we cant figure out the gears
I found this on the web keep shifting up and you go through six gears than one more up and your back in first starting over. Kinda freaky!Originally Posted by lestexia
Bridgestone Hurricane Scramblers of the late '60s and early '70s had a rotary shift pattern that was bizarre beyond belief! You would shift up through all six gears, then when you hit the shifter one more time it would go back to low gear. Imagine the surprise when the rider was in top gear, all tucked in and howling down a fire road, and snicked the lever one more time, only to be greeted with low gear and 11 million instant rpm!
I love the smell of gasoline!!
I woke up.....life is good!!!
That would kill me because I never know what gear I am in.
