Popular Post BR46 Posted May 5, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted May 5, 2022 The motorcycle that I was ready to buy today for my next race bike was the wrong model. Went to one motorcycle shop and they didn't have the parts I needed. Went to Wolf's motorsports and the fitting that I needed they didn't have in stock. Went to another store and they had one spark plug that I needed but not the other.....fuck it I need a beer so I stopped in at a little corner bar and......the Porter beer that I like was no longer on tap. I need a hug today 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have seen the long gone motorcycle shop in my hometown. It was packed to the gills! I think BSA and Triumph were their main brands. It sat idle and still packed a long time before it disappeared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I used to have a boat I had an explorer that was a 5 speed that pulled the boat. My buddy would help me put the boat in and pull it out sometimes. I bet the Explorer's clutch looked worse than that. He was a little hard on it when pulling it out of the boat ramp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted May 6, 2022 Share #21 Posted May 6, 2022 I don’t think you could ride the clutch that much. It must have been adjusted too tight by someone. Or maybe assembled it with the wrong springs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone bought it new, burned up the clutch, then parked it for four years. Cant imagine what that little bike went though. It was slipping the day I bought it on the way home with only 85 miles on the odometer. And I was just driving 40/45mph down country roads. Called the dealer when I got home, They blamed me, claimed I was doing burnouts with it. Yeah, I traded them my 750 cc for a 250 cc to do burnouts. Live and learn, I'll never buy used, even when it looks like new. And certainly never do business with that dealer again. Hopefully its fixed. If not I'm dumping it and going back to a Honda. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted May 6, 2022 Share #23 Posted May 6, 2022 I don’t see any springs in that box of parts, I hope they changed them. Did the dealer cover the repairs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he needs heavier spring I probably have are a hundred laying around. I have some that can handle 80+ hp that still will work for the 25 hp that he has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good built 450 can hit around 70 hp so I don't see why we couldn't find 30+ hp. My son knows the guy who's in charge of the performance parts and accessories for Yamaha if that would help. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team scooter Posted May 7, 2022 Share #37 Posted May 7, 2022 My son has two snowmobile sleighs. He bought one, then a week later found this perfectly pristine refinished one. I thought that one of these would make a great, lightweight sidecar shell. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team scooter Posted May 7, 2022 Share #38 Posted May 7, 2022 I just rode the first 45 miles with the new clutch. So far, night and day difference. No more needing to keep it under half throttle or keeping it one or two gears lower than necessary to prevent it from slipping. I no longer need a quarter mile worth of space to pull out into traffic. And unlike my old 200cc Twinstar, the accelerator lives up to its name and not just a volume control. Starting to plan my dual sport trips for the summer without fear of needing to push it home. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
