    Isn't there a video to adjust the clutch, in the gasket I mean. I just installed mine and it makes a VVVVVVVVvV noise in first and doesn't move in second is it too tight!?

    Go to the above site and download a service manual.
    Adjust the clutch exactly as the manual states and report back.

    Ok so I followed the steps on the manual, adjusted the tension so it's about a dimes space. Went into the gasket turned it counterclockwise and 1/4 turn clockwise. Put it back on. Pulled the clutch a few times. Tightened the clutch tension. Turn the bike on it shift but still makes that vvvvv noise. What am I missing here. Is something still to tight. What's up with this clutch man. Everything goes smoothly on but it just won't roll properly.

    I'm looking at the other thread as well I take it it's just an adjusting thing. I've adjusting about 3 times now I just have to get it right. Going back and forth is a little frustrating.

    ok its a new York thing I guess...what I did
    1. Put my cycle on a stand.
    2. Moved the gear shift lever out of the way.
    3. Loosened the clutch cable so the clutch lever has no tension.
    4. Remove the clutch inspection cover.
    5. Push the arm back towards the rear wheel.
    6. Turn the adjusting screw counter-clockwise until it stops, then one quarter turn clockwise and replace the nut.
    7. Replace the clutch inspection cover.
    8. Tighten the clutch cable.
    9. Squeeze the clutch lever several times.
    10. Check the clutch cable free-play at the cable housing.
    11. Tighten the locking nut and replace the rubber boot.

    still have the same VVVV noise

    So you haven't checked or adjusted the chain tension?

    What does this mean? "Everything goes smoothly on but it just won't roll properly."
