it's to bad you didn't live here in E.TX other wise I'd give ya a hand, I love wiring jobs. This next winter I plan on totally redoing the wiring on mine and replacing all connectors I can with weather pak connectors so they are more secure and also better at keeping the water out of the connections. Plus I'd like to do a 4 place fuse box instead of just the 2 place one so I can isolate some of the circuits like some of the add-on stuff. R.F. |

ya could detune your carb you beast 8-) Proper oil HD clutch springs Put washers under the springs Think someone said slip in an extra steel plate kevlar clutch plates check you clutch rod length, I think 12 to 12.5mm sticking out of the clutch pack is an optimum length. 13mm is too long. I tell ya, I hate traffic, dang hand cramps up halfway home. ;D One of these days I'll have to see if the hydraulic clutch mod will lighten it up some. |

Title: Re: What lurks behind the clutch cover? Post by kimchris1 on 04/11/13 at 10:30:30 Versy, I think you need to make a trip to our area. Their are enough of us here that could and I am sure would help with the gas and expenses. To meet and have a wrenching session as well as riding time, would be an honor. So how about it? Are you in? Keeping fingers crossed... :) |

Whatchertalkin'aboot, Wyllis? ;D 1st things 1st, thanks for correcting that "engrish" of mine... ::) Secondly, what's this about a registration fee? Do we get handouts? Tea and scones? Coffee and biscuits? Cola and sandwiches? :D Table dancing ? ;D ;D ;D I can't detune my carb, Verslagen, I ain't finished enjoying myself ! I had been told about washers compressing the springs, I'll do that (the next time I come round to removing the exhaust... :P) Ahhh... riding season at last !!! 8-) |

Title: Re: What lurks behind the clutch cover? Post by Cavi Mike on 04/11/13 at 18:07:51 I don't get it. What is this - a class for people who've never seen inside an engine or something? |

I believe Versy has graciously offered his time and residence to have some people from the forum over to discuss bikes and whatnot, probably over a beer or softdrink. Bike chicks and dudes hanging out on a Saturday afternoon, what could be better? |

Neither one is worth dumping any more time or money into. |

Title: Re: What lurks behind the clutch cover? Post by Dane Allen on 04/13/13 at 18:05:28 Got home a little while ago. It was awesome!! MJ got an oil change, a new chain tensioner and muffler. Had Angus beef dogs, coleslaw, greek pasta salad and peanut-apple-raisin salad. We have a tentative plan to meet again in two months where I will get my tensioner and who knows what else. I rode with MJ till we hit the 57 where I am sure he was happy to ditch the slow-poke with the almost broken in engine ;D ;D ;D Thanks to Versy for his time and inviting us to his abode. Best of luck with those other project bikes!!! corrected |
