Nothing really similar in search but I adjusted my pressure plate prior to installing my engine. Seemed like I had to turn in the adjustment screws a bunch. After installation, I've got a slipping clutch that I didn't have before the engine etc. was removed. Clutch disk is almost new and pressure plate is in good shape also. My question is: Could my adjustment be causing the clutch to slip? I have about 1.5" of clutch play before it engages and about 1/4" between the throwout bearing and the forks.
Thanks as always for your comments,
Pete
