The General Motorbikers Discussion Thread

I find it really exciting that some interesting motorcycles are coming from a somewhat unexpected place (China).

I am not old or fat enough for the Goldwing, but this inline-4 looks pretty good. Maybe a roadster with that same engine?

Burnt clutch bush fix

Other tips in the comments:
We saved a trip crossing the Simpson Desert in Australia by using some fencing wire to increase the bulk in the clutch pack. The clutch was burnt out 100kms from Big Red. After the fencing wire pressure plate was added, it was ridden to Poeppel Corner, then up the Hay River Track and then home to Melbourne. Over 2900 kms.

Rather than snapping fiber rings. Bend one of the metal plates in a couple of places and make a wave in it. It will take up more space and act like a diaphragm spring. I have done this mid Enduro race and completed the rest of the race with no noticeable difference in clutch performance.

There is a more subtle way to handle the early state of this problem.Add a few washers under or on top of the springs. That way you increase the pre-load on the spring and thus adding friction.

I have absolutely no idea.
I see some around here, but that's just anecdotal evidence.
