They are fun for chasing the scooters. Here's a pic of mine the day I brought it home. It had 688 miles on it.

Turning Wrenches / A7 Clutch
May 07, 2022, 08:42:10 PM
Got it apart today. Slipping so bad it wouldn't overcome compression on kicking. It's been sitting for few a few years. Got a couple questions.
I always ran the recommended motor oil in the trans, but put some Belray gearsaver in it before I parked it up. Would that cause a problem?
When I pulled it apart the gasket ripped, which sucks as I don't have another. I prefer to glue them to the cover and grease the other side, but the permetex stuff I used last time let me down.
Any gasket glue recommendation will help.
I'm going back to Rotella 15-40 in the tranny as it has always worked in the other bikes.
Where I think I screwed the pooch when I put this back together is by putting all those little rubber nubs back in between the clutch discs. Most of them were hard as rocks lol! Thankfully I picked up another clutch, so the plan is to use the best parts and get this going again.

Turning Wrenches / Re: RD400/PWK28 Throttle cable
September 01, 2021, 10:07:25 AM
Thanks for the ideas. This really surprised me as when I put these on the RZ and H1 I had to go longer with the adjusters. I've already ground the nub off the cap and screwed in the adjuster out of the stock VM. I found the top part of the OE throttle cable, and it has a threaded cap. It's been ages, but I think the splitter tube on it was metal. If I found that I might have been in business, but it was awol.
I'm going camping this weekend so have time to cogitate. A dime will get you a dollar I'll probably cave man it with the tube cutter and dremel taking some off the cable sheath lol!

Turning Wrenches / RD400/PWK28 Throttle cable
August 31, 2021, 11:49:26 AM
Hey all,
I have a pair of PWK's I want to try on the 400. The inner cable is about 1/4" short and the slide doesn't bottom out. I have some lower cables out of an old H1 cable that look like they might be long enough, but not sure how the replacement Econ Cyc. cable splitter comes apart without breaking it. Any ideas appreciated. I'd be more than happy to get a new cable as long as it will still work the oil pump.
