Re: AF Clutch slip

You have probably got the cable adjusted too tight. There isnt as much movement to seperate the plates as a standard clutch so if you set the cable up in the "normal" way the clutch will slip when you give it some crumpet.

Re: Xmas trees

Chiselspeed do it for (i think) £25. Worth giving them a ring and finding out.

Re: Gp only runs with choke out

If it ran fine before you parked it up then its either the rings sticking or a blocked pilot jet. Id be more inclined towards the pilot.

Re: End plate problem

Like Sean said.
If you want a thread repair thats as strong as stuffing the hole with chewing gum and then winding a stud in, use a helicoil.

Re: my group six build

You need your arse right where that petrol cap is and the bars need to be bolted on over the top of the forks. Bolt them on behind and it will steer too quick, in front and it will steer too slowly.

Re: Anti dive geometry - cat among the pigeons?

I fitted an anti dive set up to my group 6 and it lasted about three laps of practice before i pulled in and unbolted it. It was horrible and took away all feeling from the front wheel under braking and left the trye struggling for grip. On another note has anyone noticed that the reason the front d...
