Well Wed I get a call from a buddy. Tuesday night my buddy had to limp his bike home, cause his clutch "went out". Wanted me to come over and check it out.

"Gas Man's Mobile Service"


Start tearing into the bike


Checkin the ball ramp assembly


Adjust the clutch


But this ain't good!!!


Especially when you still got this!!!


Finally get it adjusted in tight... pull the lever... POP and then no more movement which we find out cause the ball ramp is already fully extended. One of 2 things wrong... broken carrier or tranny nut loose and basket moving. Bike is under warrenty... he says... FUCK it, he's got a few other things that he's been putting off (non riding problems) so he'll take it in. OK I say... reminding him it could be something simple but we would have to bust open the primary... he says... FUCK it.. take it in.

That was it... packed up cause after 20 mins of being at his house, I got another guy calling me about his bike dead at his buds house. Turns over but no sparky! Peace out current guy... here I come to bike #2. WTF!

To finish one bike story I'll skip bike #2 for now.

Calls around Thursday and Friday trying to get figure out what dealership to take it to... but they all say it will be at least a week before they look at it... which will mean no bikey thru 4th of July w/e. FUCK...right?

So tonight he calls... he got pissed and took it apart him self.... pulled the outer primary, pull the diaphram spring... tranny nut hand loose!!! Tighten it up... put it all back together... BAM... job well done. He calls me a few times during the night to ask questions while I'm working on bike #2 again... and tells me how much it sucked to not have a lift or jack. Clutch plates kept falling out, oil everywhere, pure suck! But job is done, tomry he gets some primary oil and takes it for a spin in between rain storms.
