Akzle would think so...

He stated a firm disinterest in the chips portion of my offer.

Thus ... flavour ... and size of the bag .. is a moot point ...

A bit of light entertainment while we have intermission.

Mmmm, truth be told, the flavour of the chips is the highlight of this whole thread to date...

Have the frame mods been certified?


Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

if you read my last thread you would realise I have stuck a new motor in it! the clutch is not stuffed and neither has the new motor been thrashed. I bought it off an old fella for a considerable amount because I knew for a fact he took care of his shit owning multiple motorcycles so before you try and tarnish my sale get the facts right and stop presuming to know the condition of a motorbike you haven't ridden or worked on personally. the old motor had a fucked clutch and wasn't seized as I first expected the old motor to be seized but it isn't :P so score for the new buyer as the internals are mint.

Um, according to your other thread the clutch burned out on the new second hand motor when you put car oil in it. Does this mean you have since swapped the baskets over?

The frame mods require no certification according to a testing officer at VTNZ as the tail end that has been chopped does not affect the strength and integrity of the frame itself. Also the clutch has not burnt ousot on the second motor at all, its the first motor that the clutch has burnt out on as I thought it seized for some th reason thenni realized it may be some thing to do with the formula of the oil and its friction modifiers that may have something to do with the clutch burning out on the old motor. I trialed run the same oil in the second motor but only rode it a short distance. Maybe a hundred metres or so. It started smoking just as I got back and was pretty bad so I drained the oil and checked if there were any filings in the oil itself and none were found. I opened up the cover on the old one and saw that the clutch was severely worn. Then opened up the covers on the second motor which is currently in the bike to see if the same damage was evident but it looked almost new. To answer all questions as best as I can there is no daamage to the second motor. Those who are sceptical feel free to inspect for yourselves

Indeed ... it "May" have ...

If you had "realized" the friction modifiers might have been the cause previously ... why did you "Trial" the same oil in the new engine. THEN ... look for a different cause to the problem .. ??

Slow learner .. ??

Looks can be deceiving ...

Could you not see the Friction modifiers impregnated in the clutch plates ... ???

To cut the story short ... the clutch plates WILL need replacing ...
