CAUTION:
It is easy to prematurely damage the clutch and other engine components with
improper clutch adjustment. If you are unsure of how to adjust the clutch, by even
the slightest, contact the Cobra Technical Support Group before making
adjustments.
Clutch shoe wear:
•
If the clutch has been slipping and shows signs of glazing, it is best to replace
the shoes. We have found that once the shoes are glazed, even if deglazed
with emery paper or a file, the performance is reduced.
•
The best way to prevent glazing is by not gearing too high, changing the oil as
specified and by not blipping the throttle.
Every time you blip the throttle, you
are working your clutch springs.
CAUTION:
The clutch produces a tremendous amount of heat and when a rider is blipping
the throttle. This makes the clutch and clutch springs wear out quicker. This also
makes your engine tend to run hotter which decreases engine power and
degrades ignition stator efficiency. It is important to train your rider
NOT
to be a
throttle 'blipper'
.
CAUTION:
Sludge build-up
between the spring washers also keeps the clutch shoe from
engaging fully and this will cause the clutch to start to slip. So you will need to
clean the sludge out or just replace the spring washers and bolts with new ones.
How quickly this sludge builds up depends on how often you
change your oil
and whether your rider is a throttle ‘blipper’.
