 Re: bicycle engine clutch.
You will be amazed how easy it is to adjust the clutch after the first time you do it. The nice thing is you can dial it in perfectly. Mine was "over engaged" from the factory....ie when the engine warmed up, my bike would start moving even with the handle fully pulled.
Indeed a nice lever makes a big difference as does taking the left engine sprocket off and greasing in the hole and greasing the pivot point. Also lube the cable and the cable exit point on that mount on the back of your engine.
PLUS make sure your cable sheath is not too long for the cable as it was on mine. I cut about 5/8" off my sheath with a Dremel cut off wheel (cable pulled back of course), relubed it, stuck it back together. Sweet!! |
