PIECE of CRAP! I'm getting something with a hydraulic clutch and a shaft drive... Thanks to Al, I got my clutch cable and luber tool yesterday. I got it installed, set the primary chain tension and adjusted the clutch. This thing is really sweet again! The clutch cable is really smooth and it shifts effortlessly. I got the bike all loaded for my trip to Columbus tommorrow for the MSF's Experienced Rider's Course. I got nearly to work and the freaking belt broke. I pushed it the rest of the way and gave up... On the plus side the tool is pretty neat, I went around a lubed anything with a cable. The pull on the safety bar on the push motor is sweet! | ||

Wait until your U-joint self destructs and your hydraulic clutch springs a leak.(I've had both things happen) There is no perfect drive system for a motorcycle. They all have their positives, and they all have their negatives. | ||

The positive side of this is that the clutch cable broke a mile from work and the belt broke almost at work allowing me to coast there. That, and I'm sure the belt and clutch cable are way cheaper than a clutch master or slave cylinder and u-joint. My frustration is coming from the fact that the clutch cable broke a week ago, I got the part and was done with the installation at 2am. I managed 4 hours of sleep and the belt broke 21 miles later. |
