Hondaman clutch mod
Greebo:
Mark & Roy,
I have to say I have not had the heavy 1st gear crunch you mention,
The only quibble with my clutch is that it only grabs on set off when the clutch lever is almost all the way out, like you would notice when a clutch is on its way out or knackered, but its a new clutch & we have tried to adjust it so it grabs sooner but no joy.
I am use to a clutch that grabs when the lever is aprox' half way.. :o

Mine comes in quite late Greebo, it still has the old plates in it (3.4+ mil, limit 3.1 mil), not sure if it's normal?

Hi Mark
Not sure about the numbers you have quoted above, its a bit too technical for me.
how is your bike running now ?
We fitted a new accelerator pump last week & renewed all the air mixture screws complete with all new springs o-rings & washers, these were not really needed but while the carbs were off I decided to do it.
The rich mixture problem I mentioned on carb/cylinder 4 seems to have disappeared now

Good news re the rich cylinder Greebo, maybe it was just the mixture screw, mines running well thanks, only managed a few miles this weekend due to the weather, so did a few jobs on it instead , clutch mod, re-routing cables, fitting an audible indicator warning (cos for some reason I constantly forget to switch them off on that bike despite being able to see the front ones flashing!), I'm thinking of a complete engine rebuild later in the year though cos I've booked the ferry for next years TT so it will need to be reliable (and take a bit of stick!).

TT next year hey, Nice one Mark, you will think you are Mike Hailwood, but be carefull with the wrists.. :o
I know exactly what you mean about the indicators, I constantly forget to turn them off, or if I do remember I push the switch too much & the other side are then on, which is very dangerous..
on my other modern bikes you only have to push the button to cancel them
Hopefully see you in a few weeks at clay cross
Greebo
