try a Honda shop to see if no 11 is superceeded? the action of the cable shaft is to convert rotation into push pull. is the shaft. is that dowicki at the bottom of the cable connector shaft moving the clutch separation mechanism far enough?

yeah it was working fine before changed clutch plates cause was slipping a little. im sure its something simple im missing but no idea what..

my mates xl250s pin on left, doesnt fit outside cover..or slot far into basket

surely the small pin, on right, which fits cover,  doesnt just press against the inside of bearing? it doesnt seem to even touch though

why i assume i have a problem..was when i assembled..the clutch lever at case was super easy..like no resistance.

but it was working great before which is very confusing

hey- well this is strange!

my mate also has a xl250 s, and had a spare clutch pin. But it doesnt fit the outer case, and doesnt slot very far into clutch either?

 is the short pin just meant to press against the inner of bearing? or im missing something that isnt in the above top diagram?

any input appreciated cause im going nuts!!

hmm, maybe im not being clear... the clutch was working fine..with this non-stock looking lifter pin. 

its like the stock..without the longer piece. maybe it was superseded? 

these similar to whats in there so i think will be fine...

hi all

was about to put cover on, realised I may be missing a part?

It was working okay before disassembly, and dont recall this part falling out. so theres a pin,  that slots into outside cover, but not the below part.

You ride with just one hand?
I tips my hat to you.
You may be able to fit a rekluse clutch to your XL but don't know about the specs of either to say for sure but obviously some mods would be needed

hey. yeah rekluse do auto clutchs for select range.  efm auto will do pretty much any bike..and i do like fireblades!

hey.
 i ride mainly road, a cb750A and 93 cbr900rr with an efm auto clutch. just the one hand hence clutchless bikes.

except the 1980 xl250s i'll be running dual levers. been on the back burner too long , time to finish so no doubt will have some questions..
