It could be the clutch basket or clutch plates are loose, warped, worn. The clutch baskets will make that noise when they are coming apart. Check it when you get the chance, and go a bit further than just pulling the cover and looking at the outer clutch plate splines - get the basket out, clean it...

Those are great pics Scar, I love to see that myself sometime. Tasty!

Great pics, looks like a lotta fun so far

Hope it's all that and a bag of chips for you guys...........................
Tim could'ya give Nate a big kiss for me?
Some guys from PNWRiders got in yesterday and where commenting on the weather, so I wonder if you've got a USMotoGP poncho yet?
Shucks though, I wish I could be there too.

but I still can't wait to ride one

I'm in

Was there a previous I4 that sounded like a V4 apart from the MotoGP bikes? I'm just being a smart arse Kiwi................................It is a redesign that I see no use for in a street bike, and it's added complexity to a degree. I think Honda used that approach in their 5 cylinder, but then ...

Great.
Another inline engine that will sound like a V-4.
That's gonna be a weird bike.
Maybe someday they will rediscover the featherbed tube steel frame too.

The only other laptop I'd even consider now is the Macbook Pro 17", but loaded with what I want is 4 grand !!! I'm still running Slackware 11.0 on my everyday workhorse desktop. Software costs so far are........................0. Configuration time is another thing altogether though. But it's been ...

These sizes are from a '92 steering head shaft, but are likely the same -
Upper I.D. - 0.981"
Lower I.D. - 1.181"
Those measurements are on the shaft itself, the lower bearing fits pretty tight, the upper is more a slip fit.
Hope that helps.

Yeah, I guess I remember that - sometimes the most direct route for engine chores is just to pull the lump out.

"How do I get the three screws holding the crank plate on the left side of the motor out ?". Use one of these Silver Impact driver A short dose of intense heat right on the bolt head too if it doesn't break loose in the first three taps. Those screws have loctite on the threads - they're always a b...

You did note the starting date Natey?
I don't have a big enough poke-you-in-the-eye-stick to take on that question.
I think your looking at the last one there.

And now introducing - John's new engine. I've heard a picture is worth a thousand words. I have a few thousand words. but just now, how about some nice pretty pictures....... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/genisx1/Johns%20Engine/dscn0638.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v208/genisx1/Jo...

Ok BUT HOW IS IT WITH THE 6 SPEED!!!! Fifth (in the six speed) has the engine spinning faster than it would be with a five speed, and sixth is barely noticable on the tach. It's and extra shift with no acceleration. It's actually slower if you count shift time, and you should. The ratios across all...

one of my disappointments for Fedora/Red Hat is that it (like Slackware) is still compiled against the i386 iso. Yeah I know, I'm running Slack 11.0 as the daily test bed/workhorse O/S. It assumes 33mghz bus at boot, but once started and configured I seem to remember lots 4xx 5xx and 6xx specific p...

I'm not exactly a n00bie I guess I'm not surprised to hear that, sometimes I just get enthusiatic about this stuff. I'm not doing that much with my digital time wasters, so I learn the stuff I find most interesting. It's not user friendly yet though, just not. I think it's a lot better than two yea...

you guys bitch too much...lol. I'm an auto tech by trade and 99% of cars are fwd and i have to agree with Barney, its not hard if you know what your doin :Rolling So am I baz, I'm just sick of watching stuff get worse every year, and flat rate times get cut to the bone. I've done had enough...........

Ok, I said I'd try Debian so I have now - and here 'ya go. The hardest part was finding the actual download mirror for the ISO image. ( I guess free means "with your time". ;) ) I won't waste your's, here's the page you'll need................... *Debian* Get the ISO C/D or ISO DVD depending on what...

If you can already set up a virtual machine you shouldn't have any problems Mike. Rob certainly has more Linux experiance than I do...............I'm not running a server. We all seem to go slightly different directions in the matrix :roll: Ummmmm.....Ok, on Red Hat - Since the Fedora project starte...

I've about had enough with Big Brother. We'll need some more clarification on your complaint before before offering any solution sir........................ :poke I'm running Linux a'plenty these days. It isn't perfect either, but you can change and crash it as you wish. I have Linux on one home de...
