Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

Where is the adjuster at one end or both ends?

The lever is pulled back by the clutch springs. My guess is badly adjusted.

You have to tension the cable a bit. Is the clutch engaging when you pull the lever?

Yeah, very much so. Lot nicer place to ride.

ha! I've been exactly the same the past couple of weeks - fair weather motorcyclists - where were you in the middle of Wintahhhhhhh????!!!

Yeah I'll have a go later, hopefully that's all it is but it started playing up after the lever got bashed

Yeah did seem to be a bit

Does anyone have any suggestions of where to go to buy a reasonably priced pair of gloves in London (with motorbike parking) ?

Cheers.

Urban Rider in Fulham. Park in the street at the back of the shop.

Or if you're more east, worth a trip down to Bikeshed.cc in Old Street / Kingsland Road. They seem to sell most of the same sort of stuff as Urban Rider.

Cheers. Central, North and East are all good for me. So bikeshed sounds like a plan.

Motoden are great as well.

Had a spin around on an MT07 today. So yeah....shit...Anyone need a kidney?

I have an MT07. So much fun

It's ridiculous shenanigans. That powerband is just lovely.
You done any long distance on it?

I have the Rev'it Neptune stuff:

Really versatile and pretty much 100% waterproof (i had a minor seam leek on the way down to France, about 10 hours into continuous downpours). The vents make them perfectly wearable in the summer too.>

for that jacket money though

I hear nothing but good things about Rukka

Looks like a great deal. The Neptune one was the best reviewed at the price i paid when i bought it last September.

Oh thats one size 5XL deal. Eek!

Bolt London near Lindon fields might be worth a look if you're over that way

Any good reliable (and reasonably priced) place in London to get my tank re lined?
Something that will last longer than me preferably?

Refitted the clutch cable, it came with a barrel nut that screws on to the cable with a Philips screw driver. Just pops straight off once it's under tension though. What am I missing? Does it need soldering on?

Sorry if this is teaching you to suck eggs but do you need to hold the barrel in a spanner while you tighten the screw?

No worries mate it's all new to me. Yeah did that it still dropped out, was gonna have a go with holding it with some pliers, is the screw nut enough to hold it in normally then? Cheers

Haven't used them on motorbikes but it's enough on bicycle stuff. I have brakes that use them and so long as you horse it up it hold so should be ok on a clutch.

This was my concern, apparently it's strong enough for a Vespa but I did wonder about a proper clutch. It's the physics, ask MDCC Tester for a thorough answer.
