Lucas 10w40 Semi Synthetic Motorcycle Oil for wet clutch applications.

Clutch hasn't slipped since the other night... I have adjusted my clutch to be a tad looser than it was

im going ahead with the manifold clamp replacement... custom pipe weld ... seal it off.

My idle and ...starting off in 1st sounds weird. .... it should be perfect considering my Valves are within range.

startin goff sounds abit like "snap crackle and pop" then gradually fades as the bike gets about 20- 30 kms... (switching to second gear)

I also noticed when putting my hand close to the break at the pipe clamp while turning the throttle in Neutral the air can be felt more at a lower twisting of the throttle.. once i get to 1/2 throttle or more its like the force is decreasing the amount of air escaping.

if that makes sense?

more air escaping at lower 1/8 throttle as compared to 1/4-1/2 throttle where i cant feel an increase in air escaping.


Either way .. .I have a visibly corroded clamp on the left pipe ... cant be good for anyone. So ill pay the guy 100 bucks to cut the cancer out and weld in a new pipe . cant hurt i hope!

wish me luck

I think your bike will idle and sound better once you get your exhaust leak fixed. :2tup: :rawk:

Wait doesn't the exhaust always have a break in it? i mean near where little condensation hole is? I thought the exhaust was in two parts

....i get backfire when decelerating too

That is a good example of the scavaging affect of the exhaust system.

The exhaust is in two pieces.He is talking about the exhaust leaking were it joins under the engine,because it is rusted out.If your exhaust is not leaking,backfiring can be caused by a lean mixture.The odd pop on deceleration is no cause for concern.
