Shovel Rebuild

[Robertgtti]

I hope that never happens,
I'm pretty anal about leaving the ignition on when not running.

or for letting the bike run idle when not riding.

I try to avoid both as much as I can.

its pretty hard to find neutral and shiffting isn'''t smooth at all.
according to the manual the cluttch is dragging slightly.

how do i fix this?
with the adjuster on the cable, making for less free play.
or do i screw the adjuster in the clutch itself in a bit further?

Providing the clutch has been set up correctly, screwing the cable adjuster out, will pull the clutch plates further apart when pulling the lever.

i did the best I could,
first time I did it so I was pleasantly surprised I even got it to ride.

will give it a try tomorrow.
That is, if my wife doesn't decide to go into labour tonight.

Yikes!  Good luck!

Thanks!

the goal was to have the bike ready before our son is born.
If I can get the clutch fine-tuned the bike is done in time.

Cuttin' it kinda close.  Good luck...on both the kid and the bike.
