    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 slipping.

I just thought I would update you all.
I was chatting with a co-worker the day before i was going to open the clutch up and put some washers behind the springs and he mentioned that it might just be because the clutch lever was to tight and he said that there should be a little bit of play before the clutch starts dis-engaging. and i went and checked and sure enough there was NO play in my clutch lever.
I guess the clutch was never fully releasing anyway now i can go full on in 4th and get no slipping! :-D horay! it also doesn't slide as much when i change gears without fully letting off the gas.

sorry when i read 'clutch adjustments' i thought you meant something inside the clutch assembly :( i'm still (obviously) new when it comes to this mechanical stuff.

i've had my car for close to ten years and never done even as much as changing the oil myself, my bikes are my first venture into the world of mechanics. i'm learning a ton but I can tell its going to take years to make up for the years of inexperience. course i already do more mechanically than one of my friends who has driven harleys for years.
