    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Clutch Piano Wire

While assembling my new clutch hub I busted the replacement piano wire. I broke the free end of the hook off of one end so I bent that end over. Do you guys think this will hold up? I've got the old piano wire but it does't look too good. I'm not really interested in waiting 4 days to get another wire either. :wink: It seems to me that the piano wire is held in my the cone washer behind the drive plate.

Thanks, Steve
 
Its depends on whats " PEACE of mind "worth to you ?? 8)
 
Just an opinion
The 2 ends sticking up at either end of the wire do not hold the inner sttel plate in place. They are there just to make it easy for you to remove the wire.
If you still have one to help you rermove the wire at a later date, i believe that assembling it now wont change how well it holds the inner steel in place.
 
Thanks for the advice guys. I ended up putting it back together and riding 100 km today. Everything seems to be okay and the clutch sounds great at idle (it actually doesn't make a sound for once!).

I also got the first offer of the year to buy my bike and I know there will be more. I should have gotten a shaft, too many people want these chains. :roll: My new plate is on order, "NTFRSL". :twisted:
