Hello all I have a 2002 400 ex the clutch would slip after riding it for 20 minutes or so well i had the cluth plates discs and springs replaced and got it back today the clutch is still slipping i changed the oil with honda gn4 and have adjusted it again and again i have it adjusted now to where if i go anymore even a 16th of a turn the bike moves with the clutch pulled in and have proper free play so what can it be? this is really pissing me off im almost ready to sell the thing and its turning me against honda uick any help will be greatly appreciated..  

when you say that you have adjusted it, do you mean that you have adjusted the clutch cable or you have adjusted the pressure plate?

if the clutches aren't engaging fully at the pressure plate then you have to adjust the rod so that it will fully engage.

if you are close to the chattanooga tennessee area send me a p.m. and we'll set up a time for you to bring it out and we'll look at it.

first off thanks for replying unfortunetly for me im a ways from tenn but i mean the cable when i put in the pressure plate i snapped a bolt with the spring behind it and had to wait for a new one so i only snugged those bolts up i used the honda manual and cant find any more about the rod adjusting when i start it it does great for 20 minutes or so i dont understand this at all but if you can adjust the pressure plate or rod please try to explain it to me.. thanks again..KEITH  

.OH YEAH BY THE CABLE I MEAN THE ADJUSTMENT ON THE LEVER AND THE ONE DOWN NEXT TO THE ROD WITH THE TWO NUTS  

I replied to your p.m.
