  3. Clutch Maintenance- Lubrication Clamp

    The following Youtube links show a guy using a clamp and pressure pack can of cable lube.

    Was able to get mine done this morning and is pretty straight forward, but it is a bit of a messy job. Tip put an old towel or bucket on the ground beneath where you are holding the cable and injecting the lube.

    I got my clamp from Motormart for $15, it is a singe screw, not the two screw one shown in the clip

  4. Summary of bucket posts

    by , 7th March 2008 at 19:20 (The Excellent Adventures of.. Trudes)
    Ok, so that was my adventures so far with Pamela the sexy bucket.
    More to come, but really wanted to put it all together to make it easier to write an article for the FMRider mag, so sorry everyone who has already read all that and were sitting there thinking "Fook Trudes, this has all been done before, are you going senile?"
    There will no doubt be more to come....

    Oh and thanks to Bayden and co. too for the organisation, support, kind words and drinkies!

    So a few things to sort out before next time, a few touch ups on the paint, some remoulding of the seat and put some more nylon on sticky out bits and reglue my ears.

    Right, lets see if she starts! Nope, not for me will she (total hussy, only likes Andrew!!), so once Skunk got her started I headed out with all the other noobs to try her out.
    Took it pretty quietly

    Arrived a little late as had to drop a friend to the airport, to find everyone
