Tranny Woes

So, after I got back from Born Free 3 this year, my tranny seemed to acquire a pretty gnarly leak. After some investigating, I had much larger issues than a busted main seal. So, after a FULL rebuild I now have a fully legit 4-speed in my bike. While being rebuilt, I picked up the "big fix" kit for my clutch. This alleviates some problems common to these clutches, Ill spring for a pro-clutch later. At $32 this was an easy fix. Heres a couple pics of the kit.





After I got the "big fix" installed in the clutch, I was ready to put the tranny back in the bike.






After I got it buttoned up and ready to go, I swapped the bars just for fun. It rides a bit different with these babies on!



So far, the tranny has been great. No more "skipping" when kicking it over and with the "big fix" it helped the issue of jerking when sitting at a light. All in all, Im pleased :)
