Hitchcocks Forum

Hi guys,
Hello to you all.
Im new to working on enfields, and loving it. Apart from my clutch.
I have a 1990 Indian Bullet 500cc 4 speed.
have got a new clutch assembly from hitchcocks, and installed, but the clutch will not stop the rear wheel spinning when pulled in. Have adjusted the worm gear and also the cable, but to no avail. I made sure the bearing was in the clutch pushrod assembly.
I also soaked the plates in ATF prior to assembly, is that the correct thing to do?
On the gear shaft, there was a washer behind the clutch hub assembly, so I put it back on, but the new clutch hub does not have a space for the washer at the back like the original?
Feeling a bit lost, any help would be appreciated.

I can't really help, but was it necessary to post this four times...?

Remove the washer, expect it was only there to compensate for a worn hub..

New hub won't need it and its loosing you vital 2mm of clutch lift...

Exile multiple posting is a hosts software problem. People don't post 4 times by choice. I was a victim of the software issue last July and someone called jaffa or a something like that had a go. I asked he or she not to post on my postings ever again. He or she listened.

Something to do with wet plate clutch?



Only, Tornado (1994) does the same. No power there and can slow and stop the back wheel with one finger, just seems to be a little 'through' movement on mine, as can be seen in vid below










otherwise, clutch works fine (with our hosts strengthener) and never had a problem with it.

Do you wean that disengaging the clutch doesn't completely stop the wheel going round but you can easily stop it doing so?
If so, that's quite normal - just friction in the gearbox.
