Re: Clutch Change - Look what I found!

Found some more time to work on the bike today. Took out gearbox/transmission. Learned quite a lot. We did a little test with the slave cylinder yesterday. Cleaned it up and dried it out totally.

I wondered if I'm the only one in this forum who owns a scooter (in my case, a Vespa ET4 125) as well as their BMW. My daytime ride is a 2005 Honda Silverwing.
