Got my Vimnnie fired up after a 4 1/2 year restoration and the damn gearbox wouldn't select more than one nuetral and one gear.
I hadn't assmebled the power plant so was a bit miffed by it all, ripped it apart, found a few problems than on reassembly thought I'd take a picce or two of the main clutch assembly.

Outboard of this is a conventional single plate clutch like most bikes have just to take up the first action and then this servo unit to do the rest...

1st pic is with clutch engaged, second disengaged and third is a shot as it sits without my mitt getting in the way

Is the main clutch centrifugal?

Is the main clutch centrifugal? in plain words thats probably an ok way to describe it at the time standard clutch assemblies couldn't handle the power of these bikes
