SIP Rims on a pepperpot disc
Anyone fitted SIP rims to one of the viet pepperpot disc brakes, it's got the allen head bolts, only had a quick look but the the part of the stud that fit's in the hub is a lot shorter than the SIP studs?

Re: Clutch Drag
Hi Tony, It's a 3 plate cork, the new one I fitted was a Newfren standard kit. The best I had it was started it up tried it a couple of times in the workshop and seemed ok just needed to tighten the cable up as it was biting to close to the grip, but thought I'd take it out to check the gears were e...

Re: Clutch Drag
hi mate, Now I am not a master of lardy clutches and its been a while since I worked on one... anyway. I will try to help if you want. By the sound of it you do not have enough clearance in the clutch. This can be caused by simply not enough clearance in the plates when the lever is pulled as the p...

Re: Clutch Drag
Hi Tony,
I'll give that a try, when using the clutch compressor with one complete turn of the nut the plates are seperated.
Vader,
It's a standard 3 plate clutch, the spacer washer is approx 3.2mm, the thin shim is .6mm and the clearance using a straight edge on the clutch centre is .5mm

Re: Clutch Drag
If I set by the normally by the cable it feels fine, When I tighten it up to try and stop the drag it's way to stiff and heavy if that makes sense.

Re: Clutch Drag
Hi Gary, It's all nice and smooth no notches or burrs and everything moves easy. It's the same with the original and new brass plunger, couldn't say about the cover as it's the one that came on the scooter when he got it years ago, what's the difference between the Rally and other ones? On the cable...

Clutch Drag
Anyone got any ideas on this? Trying to sort a rally 200 for a mate, he's had a problem with the clutch dragging and it's been looked at by a vespa expert twice who said they can't fix it, when I stripped it the plunger and pressure plate were worn and the plates burnt and crank knacked (but that's ...
