Clutch woes...
Goodmorning (over here)...
Picture the scene:
Had a trip planned for yesterday so the previous day filled up with petrol (the bike, not myself), pumped up the suspension and tyres, packed up all my gear and went to bed.
Next morning, got up as you do, sorted myself out and got the bike out.
Started it up, let it idle, put on my gear, earplugs in, helmet on, sat myself down, pulled in the clutch and...KLENG!!
The alloy lug in the handle breaks away....
BASTARD!!!
So off to the stealer's in my car I went...
Fixed it now and funnily enough the clutch is much lighter now with the new cable with teflon coating...but I don't like it!
I actually prefered the heavy feel of before!
Oh, and the biting point is closer to the bars now which takes a little getting used to.
Anyway, another fine day in the garage!
