hi Lloydy,
the answer to your bulb problem is not very expensive you only need a inline resistor the same used with kellerman indicators normally fitted to monster handle bars

nathanhu,

Thanx. Could you explain this a little more for me. I have no idea how to do it

Cheers

Mark

Maybe there are slight differences, i didnt need to touch mine.

10,000 miles appears to be about right for a clutch. The plates hammer against the fingers of the basket and form ridges which the plates stick on when you use the clutch. You can dress the ridges out if they are not too bad. This is what causes the grabby action. Its only a half hour job to change the plates, a bit longer (and special tools needed) to change the basket.

Buy a Haynes book?

rockhopper,

I have a Hyanes manual.
So, do you think it is just the clutch plates that need changing then? Is this relatively easy to do?

New slant on things
 
Just popped into the garage to check the bike again. It is on the paddock stand, so I gave the rear wheel a spin. The same clunking noise, then nothing. Had a play around and it seems, that there is a point when the wheel will move on its own, without the sproket and chain moving. The clunk is when they catch up, so to speak. I also noticed some movement in the wheel, so, a thinking that maybe it hasnt been put on correctly? Any ideas before i remove the wheel and have a look

I always wanted to be Animal, you know the one who plays the drums or the cool dude with the shades on the sax.
