Now that's what I call a smack down hotel...lol.

Have no idea...new Harley cruiser are all cable now...

There you go, you just prove my point ...that's why your driving a bus and I ran and actual repairshop for 27 years. Let me explain it. This bike has been hitting the trails since early May....how many hours do you think it has.?...keeping in mind,to keep this engine from grenadting... piston should be replaced every 40 hrs or so....now just imagine after this so call repair the engine detonate on his way home....not knowing who this kid is or his mother is....what if she's somekind of crazy Karen and blames the repair you've just did...and decides to take you to court..... That's the difference between and amateur and a professional ...

Are you on the sauce again?

I would have drilled and tapped it after sourcing a suitable magnetic sum plug, but I would have taken it out slowly with a hand drill so to stop the swarf from ending up in the sump. Not a hard job.

Your lucky you've only trown out the bearing, hauling that hay trailer behind your bike..lol. Your clutch hydraulic or cable...?

Come on @busster...please tell us how you would have delt with this situation....we're all waiting....lol.

That's kinda vague....lol....by doing what exactly...?

You think Marcel is a hack?

I hear you, here it’s like that two or three times per year.

Properly.

Well, Oregon is definitely on fire....an estimated 400k acres. Air quality warnings everyday...the smoke is flat-out oppressive. Hard to get anything done outside with consistent temps like this as well....

I'm curious....and just how would you have repaired it ?

At least it has a chance of getting a proper repair now.

Anyway it's out my missing hair now....i guess the yamaha dealer won't be looking at it now...not before a month....and the Kawasaki dealer were the bike was acquired...they want to replace the case itself....probably just to be not liable if something happens...

Go UNC.

I installed a Barnett clutch in my XS 400R & also in one of my Seca 550's....they worked awesome ...absolutely loved 'em.

A couple of blokes was it?

Fitted a Baker heavy duty clutch throw out bearing today. See here! It increases clutch disengagement and is supposed to slightly increase the lever pressure but I can’t feel any difference, it was a preventative maintenance job as stage 2 puts a lot more load on the clutch and the bearing tends to fail. Next job is the Barnet extra plate clutch kit as the clutch slips under power in fifth and sixth now.

Me and Mandi met a couple with those NC750s on the Chunnel some time ago. They'd had them a year and said they kept making ride plans as they loved them.

Went up to Damerells to have a peak at the new CB1000GT. Very nice too. I was with Steve and Martyn. I think Steve has found his new bike.

Well the count down for sturgis has begun...really hope the weather stays good...and the air quality improves...lot's of forest fires at the moment in Canada...
