    running really hot !!?

    Just got my first bike up and running, did not run when I bought it, so my question is it seems to be extreamly hot. Cylenders, heads everything. What temp should I be running at? Is it normal for fiberglass wrap to smoke everytime you ride the bike? Thanks for any input. Dave

    won't engage

    Putting my bike back together and installed the clutch cable and side cover last night. I never messed with the clutch itself, but it won't seem to engage when I pull the lever. There is tension, I just don't know much about them, anything simple to look for first? Thank-you
