Is it a problem or something normal of this engine that when the clutch cable is a bit weak the clutch has a two times engagement?

Let me explain:

I'm goig to move, and slowly leave the clutch lever, the bike starts to move, but at half way of the lever the bike stops moveing till 80% of the lever when the clutch engages rapidly causing sometimes the engine to hang if there's not sufficient throttle.

It's annoying and dangerous expecially when I stop in centre of the road for turning and veichles are comeing in front of me, so I've to be fast.

I've seen that reduceing loose of the cable it's better, but the problem doesn't disappear completely.

Is it because our clutch has the traditional 4 springs instead of the new plate springs?

How much free play is there at the lever? Measure between the lever and the housing.

For better response, a lot of us have installed Barnett clutch springs which are a lot stiffer than stock.

I once had an old Hudson that did that. I suspect that you might have a warped clutch disk or maybe the brand or type of oil might not be compatible with the clutch material.

Okay Roberta, the pizza shop in Brooklyn turned down your job application as a pizza delivery boy - you don't have to take it out on us! You can still come over and work as a garbage man!

My uncle in Lawrence has a restaurant with pizza shop.
His speciality is the pizza with spaghetti.

When I asked him what $hit it was, he told me that americans like it so much because they think to it like an all in one of the best italian dishes.

He told me to don't say anything about the spaghetti were what it has leftover from one or two days before...

But sometimes it doesn't leftover spaghetti but pasta with beens, bleahhhhh

My uncle told me that if he wanted to put $hit in the food, americans will never understand the difference... Because of their palate destroied by fast foods.

But why do you istigate me?
To introduce the american hero was one of you, not me...
You know the excesses of your culture, and I know the defects of the mine. Try to accept and study how to be better people expecially in energetic and foreign politics.

But enjoy your rear 300 rubbers and let us smile once more with the next "americanata" trend...

Please leave joke and kidding in the lounge...
I thought lounge was a place where we can talk freely and instigate each other, this is for tech topics...

Reducing looseness of the cable it's a lot better, but I've to check better. There's still warranty so it's better I let the service check it before I dismount by myself looseing warranty.

I've bought some nice things from newspeedmaster.com and once of those was the Haynes sercice manual. Awesome books...
