[QUOTE="simbaboy, post: 36174, member: 1690"] Friends, Took out the bike today and the power is amazing. I easily got it to 80mph with plenty of throttle left. I think new gas with ATF in it is restoring the carbs. I got it started first try. Finding Neutral is the hardest part. The shifting is still very hard both ways and you guys are right----When I am in first gear the bike can drive even with the clutch pulled all the way in. Most likely I need to "increase the tension" on the cable so that I can disengage the clutch (I hope I am making sense). The clutch cable looks fairly new. When I fully pull it in, it looks like I should be able to still go up on the "lever" at the distal end (close to the motor) a few more mm's (I am a complete idiot at this and I don't know what to call it). It feels like I am in the friction zone even with the clutch pulled all the way in. How many times can I guy try to describe what he is seeing before he gets labelled a total newbie (kind) or mentally disabled (unkind)? Is there a tutorial on doing this and what tools may I need beyond the basic wrenches and pliers--How to adjust and set the clutch cable? thanks simba [/QUOTE]
