Hey everyone, haven't really posted here before. My name is Jasper from the Netherlands, 24 years old.
Not much actual experience working on motorcycles but I "get" most mechanical things quite easily.
Been working on and off on this bike, but haven't been putting in as much time as I'd like.
I get discouraged quite quickly, don't wanna mess things up and unfortunately I don't have too much to spend on my bikes atm.
Have been able to get the bike to run, but not great. These carbs are somewhat frustrating..
Anyway for now I'm looking into the clutch, because it felt a bit "slippery" at some points.
I've noticed on the last drive that the shifter keeps going down easily even after I reach 1st gear.
Is this normal for these bikes or do I need to look into it some more?
I'm planning on removing the clutch cover and taking a look, I've got a new clutch cable already but it seems quite tight.
Got it fitted but the old one was about 2 inches longer, full lock to the left is quite tight but otherwise normal.
Is this just a, if it fits it will work?
I really wanna get this bike going again and actually have some fun with it!
Here's a picture in the current state
