Morning, hows it going? Update please, thanks, Bill
Bill, thank you for asking. I hit some snags, I had a leaky neutral switch. It was actually the switch, not the O-ring so I was waiting for the new one to arrive. I swapped the oil pump with a rebuilt one from Cyclex (I already had a rebuilt one in, but Ken said he wanted to cross it off the list). The bike actually stopped running, but I am willing to bet that I slipped the cam sprocket, so I will need to dial that back in. Waiting to figure out the clutch to put oil back in and get it running.
The big question I have, and I have a post in the regular section about it, is my clutch. I had an old issue with it, and it turned out to be overtightened and broken pressure plate. Now it shifts well into and out of gear, lever feels great. But once it is in gear, if I pull the clutch lever, it doesn’t remove it from gear, I have to shift into neutral. Wondering what I missed on this.
I have a new clutch in (Cyclex, with a spring plate in the middle), it was oiled before install. I removed a friction and steel plate becase its technically a 78 and has a smaller clutch pack. The tabs going into the basket are about 3/16 smaller than the basket itself. Stock springs, no shims, torqued to 6ftpds. Turned the adjuster till pressure felt, 1/4 turn back out.
