Default Re: Riding in the hood.

I am on a cruiser and don't use the tensioner. I think I had too many washers on it and the chain was too loose. It ran okay for about four miles after I readjusted it the last time. I still have that lurching sensation while it is running out. It feels like a car did with a skip almost. I think the clutch is screwy but I don't know since I have 0 experience with these things. I'm going to keep riding it and see if that won't stop.

The bike accelerates just fine and it is mostly just when it cruises so I'm thinking its the clutch but it will right itself eventually. It would have to be a heck of a lot worse before I went into it. Just always feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to fall.

Oh well there is always tomorrow.
