Well the new clutch kit is in and makes a huge difference, gear change is smooth & drops into neural like brand new, needs a bit more effort to pull clutch in due to Barnett springs a bit longer  While I was there I did the 4 deg mod, easy enough to do and does seem to be a bit smoother on the short test ride I did Cost $180 for clutch kit from USA inc post, $12 for silastic and a couple of hours. Plus Oil & Filter $25 Now just need to find some time and nice weather for a ride. |

Great job! Putting the Barnett springs in is something I would like to do as well. Just holding off untill the I feel the clutch eventually needs looking at. |

The clutch is great, the jury is still out on the 4 deg mod, only riding to work which is only 15min each way,. Seems a bit rough when cold but ok when warm, Mid range power is better also don't know if its me but the bike sounds different, a flatter deeper sound if that makes any sense  |

looking at it I moved it to the left ( pushed up ) as in the pic's. If it was retarded it would struggle to start and rev out ? Like I said once warm it's ok. Once I go for a good ride I will know more. Thank for your input Moe but can you explain what you mean by Flame me I'm old ;D ;D ;D |

Hi shane,basically"mind your own business"
If you ever had an old magneto,kickstart bike with a manual A/R lever,its retard for easier starting and more pulling power(going uphill),advance for economy and speed.Was necessary knowledge for my generation,Lol,usually the only way to get up some hills

put a set off DPR8EA plugs in and made a huge difference, I'm much happier with it now.
