Well well well... after countless hours, some blood / sweat / tears (literally in some cases), and a few hundred dollars later I have a running bike again. The parts (clutch slave cylinder, plug wires) came in this afternoon. I got all the parts on, bled the clutch and installed the wires. Synced the throttle bodies (weren't off by much) and adjusted my throttle cable a bit. Bike seems to run great....but since I have been drinking since 5:00ish and I am tired as shit it will have to wait until tomorrow to actually ride it. Probably needs about a 1/2-quart of oil. Did an oil change, but couldn't fire up the engine to cycle the oil through to see where it's at. Tomorrow....tomorrow.....after I cut the grass. All I can say is that the engine did sound / feel tight after all the work on it. We'll see.... Happy Riding and please have a fun, but not totally safe, 4th of July weekend! --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
Yuppers! I took it out for a spin to go get some lunch today. Everything seemed to be running very well. The clutch doesn't feel quite as tight as it used to, but I think that is a function of the new slave cylinder. Shifting was fine and I didn't have any problems. Yeah, well this white-bread is all up in there..... --Fullstate Me and Mah 'Priller!
