Will try to bottom out the cable and see what happens. I just want a "normal" clutch function. As it is now, it's either fully engaged or disengaged. Hard to drive really slow in first gear, when parking, low speed maneuvering etc. You can upshift super quick, though :D

Hello again, guys! Finally got some new tires on the bike. Went with Heidenau K60 90/90-18 for the front and Duro H904 1100/90-16 for the rear. Feels great and looks good. p.s. Never mind the sloppy seat installation, will fix that soon :) d.s.

Hi guys, I have a clutch adjustment issue. My clutch is really, really short and it's almost like a switch, it's either On or Off. There is very little play and it's very hard to slip the clutch at walking pace speed. I've tried to adjust the clutch wire and handle according to the manual and...

Hi guys! Long overdue update... The bike is running really well and I've done som cosmetic work on it. Luggage rack and rear light has been removed, and handlebar, mirrors, grips, turn indicators, seat and rear light has been changed. The subframe has been cut and fitted with bar-ends, and the...

Ok, will do that. According to the PO, the valves were checked not too long ago before putting the bike away for a year or two until I bought it.

Did some work on the bike today. Had the carbs cleaned, again. Installed the original airbox and filters and...She runs and holds idle! Not sure if that is because of the airbox or the third carb cleaning, though :) Attaching a short video of it running. Still waiting for new airfilters for...

Update: Ordered new air filters for the stock airboxes. Decided to get it running using the stock intake and filters, and then start tinkering with pods etc if I still want to :) A quick question for the collective: Any suggestions for off-road/dual-sport tires for the stock alloy wheels? Bit...

Yeah, I'm thinking about doing that. Got the pod filters before reading up on the different issues that might come with them. They look good, but it seems they are not really worth the hassle.

Hi guys, I'm a sort of a newbie bike owner from Stockholm, Sweden, who recently bought an -82 Special (4G5). It's in decent condition, but has been standing still in the po's garage for a couple of years. It has only got about 3000 km's on the clock and I paid 350 Euros for it (approx $430)...
