• 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.

ST SM clutch pull

When I was at the local dealership looking at a 2014 ST SM5, I noticed that the clutch pull was very stiff. Is this normal, or does it have a vacuum assisted clutch than would be noticeably lighter in pull with the engine running? (I didn't think to ask the question at the time.) I have seen a thread for the F3 SM where they've had to retrofit a kit to make the clutch pull lighter - if needed, is this kit also available for the ST?
 
They do....

They do have the clutch assist vaccum and once the engine is started it becomes lighter. As you ryde it is less but then I don't use the clutch to up-shift only on the down and stop and go traffic...:thumbup: you can also adjust the pull
 
Thanks for the clarification on the vacuum assist. I have arthritis in my hands, so a relatively light clutch pull is important. I'll see if I can get a test ride to see what it's like.
