Raptor Chapter

Nasty... rather shocking when if happens..it's like your under attack! I was riding on a gsxr :revrev: ....and caning it. :revrev: :revrev: ....suddenly found two pheasants on each side of the road :shock: ......buttock clenching stuff! :sick: Knocked off as much speed as I could and sat up! :shock:...

Does anyone know if this part is generic with any other bike???..must be something out there that has parts in common??

You've found a great place. ...loads of help, great people!

Great advice Andy....

Will have a poke at it in the morning!

I've dropped the oil put of it anyway...needed to be done!

I always assume too much when I'm working on bikes. .should look a bit deeper into it and come to a solid conclusion.

Took the bike for a quick zip about and it's still slipping a bit, not as bad!

I intitally dunked the rings in semi synthetic.

I'll do a full oil change for mineral and see where we go from there...might change the springs and uprate.

Anyone got any spring choices they've tried?

Crikey. ..never knew oil and clutches were so subtle. :geek: Quick update on my initial problem.....stripped it all down again and stuck it all back together.....everything feels fine with the lever again.. :nod: :suspect: (If anyone wants a great youtube video to watch checkout the two guys changin...
