I recently purchased the above-mentioned motorcycle. Although the motor has been fully refurbished, I have been experiencing problems with the following;
Clutch - When cold the clutch will not disengage fully i.e. after starting the engine and engaging first gear, the bike jumps forward slightly. When the engine has warmed up the problem disappears and I can even start the engine in gear with the clutch depressed.
Rear shock/suspension - If the rear of the bike is pushed down, it only partially returns to the correct position. If I pull the rear end upwards, there is approximately 2-3 inches of travel before it reaches the correct position. I know that the shock needs replacing but is this the only reason for this problem or might there also be a problem with the suspension?
