Brother , I feel for you .

The one constant scraping sound that exists when the clutch is pulled in , is (in my opinion) the throwout bearing .The other sound(s) I am not sure of . I am sure you will have to disassemble the clutch to find the problems.

You don't .

Get it . PERIOD .

We have the freedom of choice......

Looks good . Get it !

No....none at all !

You can but , there is no "give" whatsoever with this type of setup .

When you mount this link , these two mounting bolts need to be tightened with normal rider weight on the bike .

The rubber in the bushings twists . The sleeve is to be clamped with the bolt into it's retainer .

I mean real exaggerated angles . The minor adjustments we are making w/the (longer) shift arm extension and changes in rod length are not going to cause any harm.

I was throwing this out for general knowledge or discussion . Linkages with same lever lengths should have the same relationship on their shafts. i.e. they should appear as a parallelogram from the side . You will get the same input / output from lever movement .

Make sure you get a Roper Plate, two pan gaskets and hose clamp for the oil change.

That is terrible and sad news. Sorry to hear .

A long time ago , I used Channel Master Tuner Cleaner. I don't know what is the best product now ?

And you don't know where we would be w/o you and your site .

I am gonna have to look at my bike's linkage before I blab any more .

I discussed this (lever, linkage efficiency) last year with this older mechanic about brake levers on drum brake mechanisms . He told me , the best brake effort is when the pulled brake lever is at 90 degrees when fully applied . I do not know how much is helped or hurt when shift linkage is lengthened / shortened ? 6 mm of length will make a BIG difference of lever position .

Hmmm. I like the scale .

I extended my shift linkage and modified my linkage rod as I mentioned in other posts. No problems .

Yes. I suppose so

They looked " aviation " quality .

Yes , all levers work best @ 90 degrees . 90 degrees at rest or 90 degrees applied ?

You can but , it takes a LOT of time do do this .

Where did these come from ?
