Hey Guys, work commitments, means my rebuild has slowed down! just about to install the Clutch and have been thinking about the pushrod. Long before the internet i rebuilt an XS engine and I think it had a 1 piece job.
Problem with that bike (which seems to be common): When cold the clutch would not dissengage and if adjusted to correct that, the clutch would slip when the engine warmed up. If i'm right, this is due to the alluminum of the engine expanding more than the steel pushrod and the answer to this was the 2 piece (one Alloy one steel) pushrod.
So why does everyone seem to replace the 2 piece with the 1 piece? and what is the best option to go for?
Thanks
