During our nice ride Sunday, I noticed some weird noises in the clutch/trans area, but thankfully we (wife and I trying out new seat) made it home fine.
The shop had adjusted my clutch last week as a favor, so I called right after I picked it up and told them the adjustment had gone the wrong way.
So I dropped it off between rain Tuesday night. They stayed late and then yesterday I went to by see the damage. Probably a familiar story for the experienced, but the carrier had weakened and the bearing was bad. Friction plates were not worn (10K miles) but still pretty bad carnage. Even the inside of the primary cover has marks.
Research in the archives showed the Bandit Bruiser has been popular ? The guy at my shop has a Ridgeback, and had already put one in his and he recommended it as well.
Any other advice or recommendations ?
