    Clutch adjuster

    Guys, Here's a picture of my outer push rod, left side, so adjuster side. Am I right to say that the narrow dark end should be pointing out? 'Cause mine was mounted the narrow end inside. Seems like half of the assembly was mounted wrong. Just hoping the the PO did not consider doing an engine...

    Checking starter motor

    To be honest, I think I'm going to leave this one to a pro, the bike needs some finetuning like valve adjustment, timing and carburator tuning that require some knowledge that I don't have right now. The problem with the starter motor might as well be the elswehere like the gear. One thing I am...

    Clutch adjuster

    I have one vendor here in the Netherlands that sells the whole assembly for 40$. I cleaned mine the best I could but it really doesn't look tight enough to do the job, parts of the assembly are not really available separately... Another question, how do you lubricate that thing? Would white...

    Clutch adjuster

    Hi, I took out the assembly last night and it looks in pretty bad shape, a lot of play in the lever, the pin in broken in, the ball bearing still inside the female worm but there is no retainer at all, it comes out from both sides, is it normal? Very dirty, with a lot of grease and dirt...

    Clutch adjuster

    Checking starter motor

    Ok, did the test on the motor, seems like it has not turned in along time and looks in bad condition, not dead but not far from it... when you remove it, it is just one gasket to look after?

    Clutch adjuster

    Ok, just watch a how to on youtube, the female worm thread seems to have been mounted inside out, that's why it sticks out so much, I' try to fix this. Question about the side cover gasket, do I need to change it whenever I remove the cover?

    The lock nut is there but I can't reach it. The rim of the housing is sticking out while in the video it looks like being pushed deeper inside...
