Not going that far Greebo, my wrists are complaining quite a lot!, it really does remind me of why I sold the blade,  I'll just go 10 miles or so to check out the clutch, then have a week on my other bikes whilst my wrists repair!.

Greebo:
I noticed how your clip-ons are well turned in obviously because of the fairing, but I think that must be the problem for you....mine are set more straight & I don't have any issues with my wrists...I did think I might have some discomfort at first cus I am riddled with arthritis, up to now all is good wrist wise, no problem with the neck, just got an issue with the left hip aching after a few miles,  going to get that sorted out the back end of the year.

I will do anything to stay in the saddle for a few more years.. 8) 8) ;D

Ha yes, nothing more important than riding, all bikers prove this by riding in the first place , given the dangers, I can get the bars a bit more turned out but I'll have to move the choke pull, I used to suffer on the blade though so I think it's just old age (it's not the age it's the mileage 😀), I'll have a look at moving the choke later today .

Had to pull over and readjust the clutch, slipping like mad , turned it back out half a turn and seems good now, I'll have a look at setting it properly later as well, still clunks a bit going into first but I'm told they all do that!, doesn't try to creep forward now though.

MarkCR750:
Well I didn't move the bars Greebo, I had remembered wrongly it's not the choke pull but the clip on clamps that foul the top yoke, I would have to drop them down the legs an inch to get more rotation and I'm pretty sure that would put even more pressure on my wrists, anyway I've been busy removing the girly round bit from the gear shift cover, turned out OK IMO but doh!, I just found one of the cover location dowels on the floor when cleaning up, had a bad day today ! (It's staying off!)
PS I'll have to reroute the loom at some point to make a tidier job.
