It will require you to drain your oil before removing the cover.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #496626 Blackroadie (User) Sometimes I wish you were a pinata !

When that shaft gets dry, it causes the shifter to bind and makes gear changes difficult.

So yesterday morning i started disarming the clutch cover. Yes the problem shifting was caused by a broken sping in the stoper lever. I change it and woow, complete different bike!! I really want to thank everyone that help me, i am starting with this bike and it looks like a keeper. Muchas Gracias!!!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #508198 jd750ace (User) I'm not IN danger, I AM the danger Platinum Boarder Posts: 7975 Re:Problem Shifting 11 Months ago   The Pirelli MT66 is a good front tire for you.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #508225 evillaleon (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 45 Re:Problem Shifting 11 Months ago   Yes, i already installed one in front. It gives a sure foot when turning and don't follow groves on street easily.

The MT66 is not the most durable tire you can get, but as you mentioned, they are good over grooves, and they are good on wet roads, and I know you get plenty of that in Costa Rica!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #508586 evillaleon (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 45 Re:Problem Shifting 11 Months ago   Yep, the choices are few. I have a rear CST (chinese, that the prev owner installed new). But for example a dunlop (harley) cost near $200 and a Avon white wall is more than $300... And this price is for one back tire... I have owned mt66 in my old virago 81, and was very good, the problem is that i wreck this bike 3 month's after tire install... Here we have a lot of rain, but temp is between 14 and 31 in central valley, near the beach is higher almost 35 and higher...   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #508632 roadiemort (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2242 Re:Problem Shifting 11 Months ago   good to see you got it fixed,   Logged     http://s1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa389/roadiemort1953/   The administrator has disabled public write access.
