Re: Clutch handle frozen

Ok I found the problem, my clutch handle broke where it meets the piston at the master cylinder. Just it just gave out due to age. I'm not turning my bike into a street fighter.

Re: Ok this is a weird one for you

Sounds like you need a valve adjustment. If you get a puff of smoke on startup then your valve guides are worn. If not, then they should be good. Could also be the clutch basket rattling around because the clutch fingers have been grooved. That is easy to check, just pull your clutch cover (right si...
