Hi everyone.
Does anyone know if there is any adjustment on the 2010 GTR clutch?
I was warming up the final drive oil getting ready to change it by putting the bike on the centre stand, engaging first gear and letting the rear wheel spin on tickover. When I pulled the clutch lever in the rear wheel continued to spin. It was only after putting it into neutral that it stopped after a few seconds. I'm guessing then, that the clutch didn't fully dis-engage when i pulled the clutch lever in. Thats the reason for the question.
Lokked in the repair manual but nothing specific about any adjustment.
As ever any help is appreciated.
Thanks
If with the clutch lever pulled in, you can stop the rear whell spinning with your hand, then all is normal
It will be a bit of clutch drag because of the multi plates spinning in the oil .
Other than bleeding it, there isn't any adjustment that I'm aware of. It's hydraulic and uses brake fluid.
+1 to what Doebag says, you will always get a bit of clutch drag and with the wheel having no resistance it will rotate freely

I had this issue on another bike I used to own and it was down to the fact that the clutch fluid had air in it and needed bleeding. Once bled, there was no rotation of the rear wheel.
I bled the clutch on the weekend. Couldn't get rid of the air bubbles. Must have put a whole litre of fluid through
It can be quite difficult to bleed the clutch and downright impossible if it goes dry. Some have had luck with vacuum powered bleeders and others with speed bleeders.

I've been fairly lucky (knock on wood) on bleeding mine...
Make your own vacuum bleeder with just a used kitchen cleaner spray bottle, a length of plastic pipe and a jar to catch the spray. It makes the job dead easy and one handed. Put a ring spanner on the bleed nipple, push on the pipe from the bleeder and give it a couple of pumps to create a partial vacuum. Now, open the nipple and pump away until bubbles stop. Just point the sprayer into a jar to catch the excess fluid. No need to do anything with/to the lever
Asif you're more than welcome to borrow my vacuum bleeder if you wish and give it a go.
