Ken, again thanks for sharing, sorry about the sandwich. Admittedly I’m way over due for some roadwork. Got some potato, potato sounds from the HotRod bike, been laid up over 6 years and parts due tomorrow. Should be on the road this weekend. Sadly I’ll be doing another mercy run to Florida, flying down this time.

Glad you're getting closer to the wind... That's motivation to finish up and enjoy the saddle...
There are 1000's of restaurants that serve Reuben sandwiches - I've got my work cut out for me, too... As long as my belt doesn't break...

I was out riding on July 3.
My brother and I rode along the Susquehanna River and the rolling hills of southern York County.
It was a beautiful day to exercise the Freedom we enjoy in the United States.

TROUBLE came calling just after I posted that...

The only downer was my clutch developed a loose cable. The lever would move about 1/2 the way toward the grip before starting to release the clutch. So, the clutch was definitely dragging when the lever was fully pulled. I suspect the Release Bearing went bad. I'll have a check as soon as I get a chance. (ETA: Thread Here) |
IT WAS THE DREADED GRENADING SPRING PLATE...
I'll be down for a few more days as I get new clutch plates ( Thread Here) --- but this is an opportunity for you to CHECK OUT some of my other ride reports...

Sorry to read this. Get back on the road soon. I had a Barnett clutch put in at 25K, much easier to use & stronger, I had planned a 1200 conversion eventually.

Back On The Road! Woo Hoo!
After being down for 4 weeks, I finally put all the parts I had collected, plus the new clutch & rotor, back into KT. For details, you can check the thread I linked in the previous posts.
I took KT for a nice 100+ mile ride to make sure everything was working correctly. It was a great afternoon ride.
More pics (and info) at My Motorcycle Chronicles. ENJOY & thanks for riding along.
BTW, I added a link (in the 2022 chronicle) at the top of the page that (when clicked) will take you to the ride reports starting in June of 2022. This means you don't have to scroll down thru the first months.
