I want to know where this cam came from, I thought we had a single cam motor...
Can I buy one with a custom grind to make mine shift faster?
I understand where he's coming from, sometimes just pondering and positing is a way to learn things you wouldn't otherwise know.
Maybe he's in basic learning mode and learning as he can.
Of course maybe he's just alive for sole purpose of being annoying.  Not that I've ever been accused of that Roll Eyes

Don't worry guys... I've annoyed more than just this forum. :cough: college professors/students :cough:

Who knows, maybe my craziness just comes natural. Maybe Savageman is onto something. Wink

I can often be rather talkative in person, and I have a tendency to try to learn by asking people questions. During college, while others were just trying to figure out what was on the test, I would come up with all sorts of questions. Instead of trying to remember all those questions or disregard them, I'd just ask during class.


The cam is not really a cam. It's just an indented push plate on a shaft. Its a lever primarily; it doesn't have much sliding friction.

What I wonder is what on earth that thick plate and steel rings are for. The rings seem counterproductive. Maybe it's to help disengage the clutch and get into gear easily? Why a thick plate? Huh What would happen if I removed one of those rings? I think the clutch would grip harder. I wonder what else would happen...  Undecided Would it be safe Huh Undecided

Maybe the front friction plate gets more stress?  Huh

Why don't you investigate the possibility of making a  centrifugal clutch fit in there. That would be fun. It would grip harder the faster you go, and you could do away with that annoying clutch lever.

Then, I wouldn't have the fun of using the lever. I don't like automatic transmissions much. Hmmm... Maybe it would be fun???  Undecided Interesting... manual trans with automatic clutch. Dirtbikes sometimes use those... right?

So... Here's a challenge for the Savage gurus:

Can anyone not only tell me why that first friction plate is so thick, but also why it is supposed to be so loose?

Now ain't that loosey goosey?
