No clutch

[Evilchicken0]

Going down to Brands to watch BSB was nice. I saw the Race Lab 600 bike too, they rebuilt my SP forks and sold me an EMC shock too.

The ride home was ok until the clutch cable snapped still with the center of London to ride through. getting going from stopped was the hardest thing, I had to paddle it to get going then stamp it into 1st and catch it on the throttle. Bit of kagarooing but not to bad.

least it was on the way home!

Yes - small mercy's heh ?
It probably wouldn't have stopped me going if it was on the way there

good man that's the spirit
why wast a recovery if you can still make it go

i only get 4 breakdown/recoveries a year, although i only ever needed 1, for a stone chip through the tank it didn't leak till i stopped the engine, then it pissed out everywhere

It crossed my mind to ring for recovery but I'd just gone through Peckham and it would have taken a min of two hours for anybody to get there on a bank hol. Once I'd sussed what was the matter it was just a case of riding round it.
I got recoverred with Bimota last year when the front sprocket nut came off and the sprocket worked off the splines.

that sounds expensive,
hope there wasn't too much damage and you weren't going at speed

Actually I was just going through a village, it lost drive and the engine just revved, it took about 10 mins to figure it out though.
It was about £30 to fix, Bimota put a wider wheel / tyre on the SB6 so there's a spacer behind the sprocket and the standard Suzuki nut needs to be turned down so the lock part of the locknut grabs. Then I found a standard 32mm socket won't work so had to buy a spanner and then turn the rear wheel to torque the nut ... it's never easy !!!
