Clutch Springs - breakdown.

I have one on order so will let you know on my project thread soon

 

LMAO! Yes, you are absolutely right. Most of the repairs he has asked me to do while he's had it have been rush jobs, as he "Needs the bike for work tomorrow".

I have always loved 2-strokes and the smell of Castrol R in the morning...

I am waiting for some final bits and bobs to arrive, then my labour of love will start in earnest.

 

Start a new thread in the workshop forum and post a few pics for us all, be nice to see what you are up to.
BTW, you do realise that he'll want it back when you've done all this don't you?

 

OK will do, once I get the engine out. Once finished, my lad will only get it back off me by prising it from my cold, dead hands...

 

He will probably think............"your proposal is acceptable"............

 

Thanks for confirming what I kind of thought was right .
And a huge thanks for the vid. Yet another variable in the equation which would give a better performance to my standardish set up.
Thanks again mate

 

Sorry for the delay in getting back I´ve been doing two jobs recently and I´ve not really been home until tonight.
Anyway, firstly my relay is fine (I think ) when I press the starter it still clicks like it should, phew I thought I´d have to get a new one....I now believe my starter motor is a gonner...
I´ve got a multimeter so I´ll try and see if I can check it.
Here are the pics I promised....
I don´t know if this is what you´d call normal wear? I think, in my inexperienced opinion,that this plate looks like it´s been to the moon and back.

 

That looks knackered to me, but I'll see what the other knowledgeable peeps think on here.

 

Bloody ell mate you got any pics of the old rollers? be interesting to see. yeah I'd say its nakard putting new rollers on that worn surface will wear them in no time I reckon

 

Yup, shot. Polini/Malossi replacement please. You've got to change it so may as well be a good one. And the price difference between standard and upgraded isn't that great, so it's worth it.

 

Cheers

 

I´ll make some pics of the rollers, but amazingly the old rollers don´t have any flat spots on them (I think they must be made out of kryptonite ).
Even though they looked ok, I replaced them with 5.5g Naraku.

The old one´s weighed in at an average of 4.75g, (I bought a little scale from ebay to weigh my airgun pellets so it can weigh down to 0.01 of a gram.

When I replaced them with totally fresh Naraku rollers and after 2 days my problem was back, I decided to check the variator again and 3 of the naraku had flat spots on them, so I then mixed 3 of the old one´s which weighed in at 4.75g(average) with the remaining 3 Naraku. The scoot ran very fine after this but on the second examination of the variator I really noticed the roller plate damage. I ordered a new one and replaced it 2 days later and now my scooter is driving like a dream.

Technically, I´ve not really tuned my scooter (restricted exhaust, still have the washer on which limits the variator plates coming 100% together) I´m just using slightly lighter rollers, forgot to mention that I bought some 5.0g ones when I picked the plate up (stock weight is 6.5g).

The lighter rollers shouldn´t give me a higher top speed, just better acceleration. My average speed now is about 54kmh(33.5mph) although I clocked my top speed at 71kmp(44mph) using an app on my phone(not sure how accurate it is but my speedo is up the spout so it´s the only way I can monitor my speeds). Legal limit in Denmark for my scooter is 45kph(28mph).

I´m a bit puzzled by this although the top speed must have been while I was riding down one of the short, but steepish hills near me.

Thanks to all who are following this and sharing both their knowledge and interest ,
Cheers,
Jools

 

Hi
I found this site with really god repair guides, I think they should e helpful fur you.
http://www.donotlink-pedstop.co.uk/Tutorials/Default.aspx

 

The link you posted seems to be a dead end?

 

The 'donotlink' part of the URL is a bit of a giveaway, Pedstop don't want links all over the place it seems...

 

It's the forum that doesn't allow that site to be linked I think

 

Thanks for letting me know , I should have worked that one out

 

The only pedstop I could find is the one with (ad. in the name) and I couldn´t seem to find any tutorials there?

 

if you use a bit of" A D R E N A L I N" with your search you will find it in the how to section on the tabs at the top
