• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    John, I think your clutch release shaft isn't tight. This requires pulling the clutch back apart and checking it. Important to not ride it like this because it will fry your clutch in short order, :cus: @$%!!! not good Jeff

    Clutch recall problems and how to fix

    John, I would have the dealer take it back apart and go through the procedure again. Vibration can indicate the outter friction plate is in the wrong place. Let me ask you this: Does it make noise,creep or shift hard manually? How much vibration, if it chatters then something is loose. Jeff
