Hi John Talley here with Partzilla.com. What I want to show you today on our 2007 Honda
TRX400EX is how to adjust the clutch lever on it. It's not that difficult of a procedure
but there's still a few things I need to convey to you to get it done properly. Looking at
our clutch there's a lot of play here, so what I think I'm gonna do is not just adjust
it but also replace this lever here as well. So to do that, pull our boot back, break loose
our adjuster, get those lined up where you've got a lot of sight for the cable to go through,
and remove your cable. From here, you've got a pinch bolt on the bottom, and then it goes
all the way through the spacer, the lever and then up top. But it's threaded so it dos
have to be unscrewed. Alright, then we can pull it out, pull out the lever, and then
the spacer. The lever itself, you can see how it's worn. Pop that in there -- see how
that's rocking around? That's what's making it move around so much. So we're going to
take our new one -- lot tighter fit now. Take our spacer, put in our lever. From here I'm
going to use a little bit of grease because it's so dry in there. I can't believe that
lever stayed in one place! Put her all the way through. Put on our pinch bolt. Now we
can get our cable back in, like so. Alright from this point we're going to go down on
the other side and adjust the coarse adjustment. Then we're going to come back up here and
adjust the fine adjustment. Once you have the two pinch bolts broken loose, you just want
to adjust the coarse to get the slack out of it and then we'll re-tighten this front
bolt and then you'll head back up top to do the fine adjustment. All of this is just to
get the majority of the slack back out of the cable. And now we're going to do the fine
adjustment. Pull it to about right there, and what we're looking for is about an eighth-inch
gap right here. So right in there. That's a little bit much. That's what we want, a
little over an eighth. Maybe a little bit more out. That's what we want. That way you
get a full pull on the clutch. Bring that down, cinch it in place, pull over our boot,
and she's ready to go. Alright guys and gals, that pretty much wraps this one up. Really
simple procedure this time around. If you need any of the parts or products that we
used please see us at Partzilla.com, if you have any questions or comments about what
I did today please just leave them below and I'll get back to them just as quick as I can.
I really just want to thank you for watching and we'll see you next time.
