[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 701264, member: 16552"] 1. 'clutch springs are the weak link' They are kinda puny, but they don't have anything to do with this issue. Take [b]any[/b] bike (or anything else with a wet clutch) and check the difference between pushing the cold beastie with the trans in gear and clutch engaged (lever/pedal pulled/pushed) to pushing it in neutral. You'll be lucky to push it anywhere with the trans in gear. Personally, I'll be skidding my rear tire if I try pushing my cold bike in gear with the clutch engaged. Not a whole lot better when it's warmed up, either. re: 'thinner oil help?' Yes. 10-40W (given that you're running motor oil) isn't a very good choice for cool weather. re: '..put in an extra spacer' Maybe. But, follow the method to determine if that's the issue. Basically, if the lever º is [b]more[/b] than 90º, remove a shim (washer). If it's less than 90º, put [b]in[/b] a shim. Example...after I installed vesrah plates from frp, my clutch stack was a bit 'thick'. I removed a shim. The reasoning being fairly obvious. The closer you are to having the midway point of the pull arc @ 90º, the greater linear movement (cable pull) you will have. Capiche? Agreed. Basket fingers aren't indicated unless once you are running it is difficult to shift into neutral. [/QUOTE]
