I give up.

I've tried four times to install this thing and I cannot figure it out.

I've followed the instructions to a tee and each time I end up not being able to get the clutch to engage/disengage as it should.

Anyone with the kit have any advice you had to figure out on your own, beyond the instructions. Sorry, very frustrated here.

Your clutch may need adjusting via the flower nut. There are some posts around concerning clutch adjustment.

Bob,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble.

It's normally a very straignt forward install.

RedB66 is in your area...PM him maybe he can help.

I may have to. It's not the instructions which are wrong, it's likely me.

I guess I should tinker with the flower nut, I just didn't want to have to. Maybe I'll sell it off to a better home.

It's just so damn pretty!

What exactly are you having problems with in the set up?

I had problems too. So I took it off, and was planning on reinstalling it this spring. BUT I lost the instructions. Anyone have a scan of the instructions by chance?

Sorry, I threw mine away when I was done....actually, I briefly read them, then just put it on. I did have to try a second pin to make it work perfectly.

The problem I am having is getting the clutch to engage/disengage like the stock one. I don't know if I am placing the eccentric wrong in the first place, or positioning the clutch arm improperly.

I am using the additional spring but it doesnt seem to have enough pressure in the internal clutch spring to push the arm back out.

Same problems.... I 'll fiddle with it this summer, the bike is buried in storage right now. I think I need a different pin length if I remember correctly.
