Ray I'll let this be my last post on this thread.
Ray, we need hand holding here or what? This is 'transmission and drive' and if I have to drive home a post, so be it. Some need to sit down and take notes they want to play noise is here or no noise IS the game. Someone told me that, but I forget whom needs to lift up their trousers and I hope bigdog is correct in the loose clutch center nut. :2thumbs:
Raywood, I to wish thank each and every member with such passioinate desire to help a fellow member with his/her bike. IMHO this is what makes The Big Dog Biker Forum such a great site! Think about it
Think about it Ray. Tech is still tech. This stuff speaks in the absolute no matter how it's said.
... these guys were ready to go at each other if they had only been in the same locality.
I'd like to go at it, so someone open a thread. Only basic fundamentals and their absolute moves is the speak. No pulling down zippers or I know key rot tea crap. That shit ain't gonna help you start the bike now, is it? :roll: Might as well take a gun to it and shoot it you get my drift about fixing your bike. It's a draw you put it that way. :roll:
The only issue I saw was a little communication gap. On the other hand, thanks for monitoring and applying the brakes before things went too far.
You better check my bike out. I don't use too many brakes. But you gotta be kidding me this was getting out of hand.
Educational and entertaining at the same time,lol
DIS IS WATT I bring to a thread. My absolute abstract to someone else doing the same communication. Very educational is school me the X or the Y. I'm going to entertain myself if it takes twisting your nuts/tubes to figure out how basic the bike can be. Deconfuse year ass is wit a little of Uncle Eddie and Aunt Entie is all you'reading.
WATTizz behind Door #2?
1. Drain oil. Why? Silver flakes is Y the clutch walks into the cover, grinds the aluminum to a gray to physically, the smallest chunks sitting on top of the drain plug. So if it has a magnet? It is powdered aluminum that mixed with the oil. If it's not sitting over the magnetic, but you see [normal wear] specks and you can still see most of the magnet? Then, if no gray matter draining is mixed with the oil? Then, think this variable as, 'not this time.' No metal draining is the first clue.
2. Clutch Cover. If there is any cover close to the clutch basket, a simple push and pull with a flat blade screwdriver will do. If there is a cover or cap at the adjust nut? Grab a pair of pliers, grab the nut and push/pull.
3. Exposed Internals. We understand we don't walk up and guess at it? Yes, we guess all day long. But who cares about this bike. That's the OP's problem, where we can't do shit about it. But if now you see the educational move you standing in front of that cover:
X = The think out of the box is to think like only having 2 moves to think about? No matter where I stand or sit on the bike, I have two factors that could jam/make noise/stop the engine/etc, are 2 directions. For this thread, the communication is you stand in front of the cover. Am I making noise in this direction is the engine spinning. This is the one direction in question is the X factor.
Y = The other direction is what big is suggesting. Communication wise, I understand he's helping with the noise and other posts with similar or lets say, empirical knowledge. Sure, that works. But when you are going to get upset with all that trouser wadded up the rear end, cheeze IS! Call out the Post Police why don'tcha!
Z = The smoke has cleared. That's WATT I like about the english language. The communication gap of thIS queens crap is not my problem you can't finger it out.
