Question XR4 Clutch

My XR4 has only done 12,000km, however the take-up point on the clutch has been steadily moving up, and is now almost at the top of the travel.
Now I do NOT ride the clutch, I can’t abide drivers that do.
I don’t thrash it, I love my XR4.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Could it be a simple problem?
Does anyone know if it is adjustable?

No problems with mine at all, .. done just under 54k

Maybe post over at fordxr4 and see if any of the other guys have had issues?

Hi mate,

No issues here - my 2007 XR4 is about to crack 60k and I have not had this issue.

Good luck getting it sorted - let us know how you go...

26000km on mine and the clutch feels like the day I got it.

Maybe yours needs bleeding?
