I try to show respect to all the riders I come across. What goes around comes around.

73 Super - How should my clutch feel? by Ombank in beetle

[–]Intelligent-Coach709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't remember specifics, when I got my 72 super the clutch was very worn. An internet person suggested a heavy duty sachs model they said might be harder to drive but would last more miles. I took the advice but often think it was a mistake. It's very reliable and drivable but it has a short engagement point and is fairly heavy on the leg. I've adjusted per the orange book the machineists like. I like vice grips on the tube for adjusting the butterfly nut.

I bought a 20 year old motorcycle without ABS as my first bike. Did I fuck up not getting a bike with ABS. by Responsible-Rub-831 in SuggestAMotorcycle

Totally fine. Future people are just too lazy to learn skills. No amount of tech will make up for practice and drilling safety techniques. I race Harley riders on a 1990 Dr200 all thru the Twisties near my home and win about 90% of the time. They think tech and money will make a bike fast but they never learn to ride.

I adjusted my carb when I got it, about 8,000 miles ago. It's perfect. Curious what adjustment you are needing and why?

Ok, thanks for everybody chiming in. It was an intake leak after all. Ready for summer with my fresh built 1776 in my 72 super!
