    Guys - won't be able to make it this week, I'm sure you'll really miss me!

    Peetey - good on ya for the kickstarter, just make sure the decompressor is setup right; never did like it when the XL250 backfired the kicker thru the gumboot I was wearing...

    Cruza - can't you just get a really fat rear tyre?

    Looks like you had fun. If I'd known you were heading to mcleans I could have trailered the XL and joined you guys for a play.

    Might bring the scooter in to say hi this week if it keeps behaving itself, now that mountainbiking is finished.

    I have no idea how to setup a decompressor or even what one is. I certainly couldn't point to one in a lineup. I've had a kicker kick back once, I got a nice view of the top of the front light as I sailed over it!
    And of course you'll be missed!

    Somehow I don't think my bike will be quite as nimble as your little lady! My bike is like me, sturdy!

    I'll stick to taking the pictures, pointing and laughing at you all as you come out all dirty and wet!

    Hi all, anyone clued up on clutches?

    My DR is dragging the clutch a bit and creeping when in 1st with the clutch pulled in.
    Apparently this is quite common with them. Here's what some sites said:

    "Often times, the clutch basket is not machined at the factory to allow sufficient end play when the clutch basket nut is tightened properly.

    Another cause can be just normally worn clutch components such as grooves worn into the basket fingers, or worn out thrust washers"

    I read a few saying about thrust washers. Anyone know what one is and where to find them? If were to bring the bike on Wed, would anyone be able to help?

    Cheers!

    No, Brent and Dave helped me sort that out last week. It's definately the clutch not doing its job properly. Quite common apparently. It doesn't look like a big job if you know how and it all makes sense to me, I'm just a bit nervy doing something like this without the safety net of someone that knows what I'm doing wrong!

    Might have a whirl at it tomorrow ... if it's not freezing in my garage, which it quite literally does sometimes ...
