M Clutch Adjustment

Clutch released, but only with full pedal travel.
I pulled the pin on the clutch adjusting rod. The clutch release crank moved rearward 1/8 inch.
I put the pin back in, now the clutch won't release at all, and the pedal only travels half way. What happened?
 
The Throw out bearing probably came off of the Fork, or wedged onto it at the tips of the fork.
The clutch will be fixable from underneath. It might have Throwout bearing issues, so adjustment might disguise a problem. If it had to be pushed, as you indicate all the way, the freeplay was probably about 1/2 pedal travel. It is about an inch measured at the platform to pedal rest stop, when the pedal is pushed down by hand pressure to the point it begins to get hard to push. Removing the Liftall pump, and looking into the area will show the problem. It could be a bent release fork, or a bad T/O bearing, or just out of adjustment and crooked at the fork tips. JimN
 
Jim, you are correct in that freeplay was half of pedal travel.
I expected to have to go underneath.
Thanks, Bob
 
With that much Freeplay, the fork pulls back far enough to come off of the sides of the carrier. Just painful. Look to make sure the T/O is good, and the tips of the fingers are not wearing excessively. If such is found, a new clutch and PP may be in order. Kits are the least expensive way to go. As a disk wears, the freeplay becomes less and less. If the freeplay increases, the clutch linkage and or T?o are getting shorter from rear, or failure. The T/O fork can also be bent, and the Pin holding it to the shaft can be shearing off/loose, check that carefully. JimN
