I bet the SERG is afraid of the SEEG in the TwoLane garage!   

MAYBE

Up to 120 possibly.
Over 120 no way!










Can't believe he posted pictures of that cover! DAMNIT, I'm hurt!

I didn't mean running down the road at high rates of speed, I literally meant in the garage - the SERG is praying for the SEEG to get a functioning clutch and clutch operator...

I'm sure the clutch will get fixed!
As far as the operator, after he hurt my feelings about the cover, WELL, , , even Zippers couldn't fix him!

Didya know that if your own vehicle runs into your own vehicle and demolishes them both, that your insurance doesn't cover it? Can't insure yourself against yourself. Don't ask me how I know this, but I once sent a fleet of vehicles out one after the other. Not any more.

No.  I did not know that.  That would have reached maximum sucking potential immediately.  Since it happened in the garage maybe I could dump it on the homeowners?

Pope poop (holy chit!), I didn't think about that.  The SEEG was jealous because I brought another bike home and it tried to run it down. 

I know the red bike is a girl.  The SERG hasn't told me what it is yet or begun to give up its name.  But whatever it is I hadn't realized until just know that it pissed off the red bike !

I'm screwed then.  Never could work buttonflies anyway.

Yup, I sent a crew out to do a job once. There was a truck pulling a gooseneck trailer following a one ton service truck following a truck crane. Someone pulled out in front of the truck and trailer and he locked the brakes up to avoid hitting the car, but, the other two drivers behind him, weren't so quick. Bam, Bam Bam. I have every sort of insurance imaginable, so, not a problem, right? Wrong.

Ok, finally progress on the clutch.  At least some.

New set of plates arrived about 5:15.  Stopped what I was doing and changed in to some junk clothes to R&R the mess one more time.  The pic below will show the "old" four pad plate versus the "new improved" 20 pad plate.

The difference in pads won't have any difference in the lockup I had (at least none I can think of).  So they replaced them just because the synthetic oil saturation in the original set was terminal.  Guess gaining all the extra leading edges for grip is a positive byproduct of nearly driving one bike through the other and on toward the garage wall.

No more lockup.  It works now.  Hallelujah and pass donuts.

Not totally right though.  Still not getting full release.

Pull the clutch lever in and the bike wants to walk.  Not hard.  But it wants to.  Can't hold it without a tiny bit of brake. 

Was initially running it this time with the primary cover still off.  Just in case.  So was easy enough to troubleshoot further.  Spec on these is .080 travel for the pressure plate.  I'm getting .065-ish.

It's well bled so that's not it.  It's those SAC grips that I love so much.  The clutch spoon is coming back against that big fat comfortable grip and bottoming out.  There's more clutch travel to be had there with a smaller OD grip. 

The walk is slight enough I'm going to ride it a bit the way it is.  Work off any high spots.  Be sure and stop at lights or signs in neutral.  Just be careful with it for a bit and hope to get lucky even though I know it won't get better.  The ISO grips, as big as they are, are smaller OD than the SACs.  So will put them back on to make it better.  At least it's rideable again.

Success!    What's next?

Don,
That walking may get better as the clutch breaks/wears in. I remember a long time ago a friend put a Barnett clutch on his rice rocket and complained of the same thing initially. If I remember correctly after a few burnouts and wheelies that went away.

This'll be good.    Don, let me know if I need to bring my 36mm socket, breaker bar, TQ wrench, and BFW, so we can tighten your secondary drive belt when you're done with all those burnouts and wheelies at CHL.

I removed the clutch lever and placed about 0.018 brass shim under the pin on each side of the roller that acuated the cltuch plunger. Thus giving it more throw. Thus sending more fliud to master cylinder and it now has move free play.
