Post subject: Clutch lever in, wheel still spins.

Hi, I have a quick newbie question that I couldn't find by searching
the group. I was in tha garage working on my Honda CX500. I noticed
that when in gear with the clutch lever pulled all the way in (clutch
disengaged) that the back wheel still spins slowly. I can easily stop
it, but when I let go it starts spinning again. Is this normal? I
didn't notice it when riding just when I put it on the center stand. I
guess my question really is: Should the clutch lever totally disengage
the clutch so that the wheel is completely free? Do I need to adjust
my clutch cable? Thanks. |

There's nothing wrong, that behavior is completely normal for a
multi-plate wet clutch, which is the type of clutch the majority
of bikes have.

Oil drag. Harmless. Ignore.

The 1970 SL125 motor in my CB100 has a good bit of drag with it. It is
difficult to put into neutral, without carefully slipping the clutch. The
1971 CB100 motor exhibited the same. I haven't tried it with Honda's
later pushrod motors.
The Savage slips out of gear very easy. I imagine that the type of
lubricant, construction of the clutch material and number of discs affect
the amount of unclutched drag.

Congrats!
[OT] I just returned from visiting the Philippines. Small bikes rule,
particularly 155 cc and lower. Honda Philippines make two styles. One
looks like a sport bike scooter and uses the Honda Passport style
engine/tranny (4 speed auto clutch). The other, a standard looks like a
sportbike and uses the pushrod style single (5 speed).
It was interesting to see the constant throb of small singles, up and down
the street.
155 cc is common on the bikes equipped with Filipino sidecar. You can get
5 people plus rider on such: two seated in sidecar, one seated straddle
in adjacent plank seat, two on extended pillion.

Rumbled. I've wanted something like that since I was a kid,
and we had an old Cushman three-wheeler carcass languishing
in the back yard.
