Yep I was there today for a bit of testing. Once it warmed up it was lovely. The only thing that spoilt the day was the worse case of slipping clutch I have ever had. The clutch would just slip like hell in 4th, 5th and top so I was going no where on the straights and it was getting worse as the day went on, so I packed in early.
I seem to have gotten a few extra ponies out of the engine over the winter and those horses seem to be destroying the clutch . Got some HD spring to go in as well as new oil and plugs all of which I had forgot to fit before hand as well as to to take with me to the track#-o.
I also managed to get the worse case of arm pump I have ever had as well, My clutch hand was so bad I could hardly pull the lever in and thats the hand I injured on the motocross track a few years ago and is still weak. So my next job is to sorce and fit a hydralic clutch kit before I race at Cadwell on May 4-5th.
Anyone travelling down from Leeds,Wakefield area? Not started work on the old girl yet! Just calipers to buy now, then I'll start spannering. Oh and buy a trailer. See you in the gravel trap.
HI, I'LL BE THERE, MIGHT BE TAKING MY 600 THOUGH, AS I'M AT CADWELL FOR THE CLASSIC BIKE BURN UP THE WEEK AFTER ON MY KR1 OR YPVS. THINK I SPOKE TO YOU LAST YEAR AT THE BURN UP, PROBALY SEE YA THERE
Anybody interested in buying my ticket off me? There is no way I'm gonna be there. Stripped the bike today and flywheel was fine. Trouble was the LHS big end on the new crank has gone and I'll never get it rebuilt in time plus I'm skint after paying for to to be rebuilt once this month already.
Still waiting on a clutch spider and see if the clutch works then, and sort the brakes out, if its not ready in time I will be trying to blag a mates gsxr 750 srad off him to have a go on.
