How do I adjust an automatic clutch on a 2003 Honda Recon? It is not an ES model.?

Question

I know where to do it but I am not sure about the way to do it as far as how many turns in and how far to turn the screw back out.

Answer 1

The Honda Recon has an ajustment in the front of the case. you can find a large nut with a sloted inner adjusting screw in it. First insert a large straght slot into the middle and while holding it still, take a wrench and loose the large nut. Now with the nut loose turn the slotted screw in until your feel it snug. Now turn the screw back out 1/4 turn and hold it steady while you re-tighten the nut.

Answer 4

--The clutch you're talking about isn't the automatic clutch. It's the clutch for changing gears.
--The automatic clutch is a centrifugal clutch.
--When the quad is in gear, the vehical won't start moving until the engine speeds up.
--The centrifugal force causes the clutch shoes to expand (in a sideways movement) away from their resting position (the clutch shoes are held closed by springs).
--The clutch shoes grab hold of the clutch drum (this all works just like brake shoes and a brake drum), which turns the transmission clutch. The movement of the transmission, drives the wheels.
--The clutch with the adjuster screw works like this. You press on the shift lever - shift linkage presses against the clutch and the clutch disengauges - this allows the trani gears to move on their respective transmission shafts smoothly without any tension on each other - let go of the shift lever - the clutch re-engauges and you're ready to move in that gear when the centrifugal clutch grabs.
--The adjuster screw is used to take up slack in the clutch after the clutch plates (like a clutch in a regular motorcycle or quad with a manual clutch - cabe operated) wear down.
--To adjust the screw - with the motor off - tighten (clockwise) the screw until it "just" touches, then back it out 1/4 turn.
--Remember, this clutch has nothing to do with making the vehicle move. If you're having trouble with your quad moving from a dead stop, then the centrifugal clutch needs looking at (springs, clutch shoes, clutch drum).

I am not exactly sure what it is yoyu are trying to adjust. Are you talking about pulling off the crankcase? They do not have a clutch lever on the handlebar, so the only way you can get to the clutch is to take the case cover off. Are you taling about adjusting the slack in the cables? I have been working with Honda ATV's for 6+ years now. So if you let me know some more details I will be able to help you

Answer 6

I believe you have been given incorrect information. Two people have told you to turn the adjustment screw in (clockwise) then back it out. As I remember you back the screw out (counterclockwise) till it stops then go in 1/4 turn then relock the nut. I could be wrong, but, I doubt it. Simple way to check is when you loosen the nut (which hopefully is not weather stuck on the adjustment screw) turn the screw out, if it only goes about 1/4 turn out I'm right.
