Hey Rob,
I found out that my clutch was stuffed yesterday morning and we
pulled it out and I had to fit another set of clutch plates. I did
four runs, two good runs at the start and then the two that you saw
were my last two. The clutch was dragging big time and when I pulled
up to the staging lights I couldn't get it out of gear so I had to
stall the bike and pulled it out of gear then kick started the bike
again. Once I was in stage I would rev the engine up and wait till
the lights were about to change then I would pop it into 1st then
take off. I figured that it was the end of my new clutch so it didn't
worry me too much. My best reaction time was 0.552sec which wasn't
that bad even with a lot of mucking around.
I had a look at the clutch adjustment this morning and yeah, I need
another clutch. I am looking at performance clutch plates now as the
standard ones wear out every 6 months
with the power of the little
beastie even with general road riding!
You know what though, I wouldn't change my scooter for anything :)
Oh, maybe a PX300 though :P
