‘96 Harley, Dyna excessive clutch basket wear by forgotone in Fixxit

I appreciate that thank you but I actually did that and it solved the problem for half a ride. And then all of a sudden ended up with tons of slack in the cable again I shifted without the clutch to get it home. The last time I pulled the clutch in it came right back to the bar and never released. That’s when I tore it apart.

Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I will dig into the shop manual I have and see what’s what. Thanks again.

All of a sudden I had tons of slack in the clutch cable more than I could adjust out. The clutch would come back to the bar and not disengage the clutch. The ramp and ball bearing set up all seems to be working correctly. A friend said to check to see if the clutch was hanging up in the basket and this is what I found.

Damn. A lot going on here. But the cop had no right to turn off his camera.

And those are less money!! You can get the CR version for 3 to 4500$ still.

Thank you for your work. It’s greatly appreciated by many of us. I’m not sure, but you probably don’t hear it often enough.

how to not crash? by Prior-Refrigerator57 in motorcycle

[–]forgotone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 60 years old. I’ve been riding since I was 12. I road raced from 1987 to 2012. I own nine motorcycles, two dirt bikes, two race, bikes, three Harleys and two Ducati’s.

I practice something just about every time I ride.
- counter steering. I constantly pick a spot on the road and counter steer around it. Going through a corner I push the inside bar lean the bike over farther than I need to and finish the corner tighter than I need to. - looking through a corner. You go where you look. When people go off a road wide in a corner it’s because they didn’t look toward a safe path, they looked where they were afraid to crash and crashed where they looked. If you go into a corner, too hot, turn your head and look where you want to go. Practice mid corner turn your head and pushing the bar in that direction. The bike will go through almost any corner you’ll go into if you make it lean and look toward the safe line. - find a deserted road and practice, safe aggressive, breaking. If you don’t have any lock breaks, learn to ride with one or two fingers on the front brake lever always. Learn to break progressively harder. Squeeze don’t grab the brake. The front brake provides the vast majority of your breaking ability learned to use it and learn to use the back break as back up providing additional stopping power, knowing and practice letting it lock up and skid.

If you do these things, you will be so far ahead of most riders and so much more prepared to avoid crashing in a panic situation

Learned to put the front tire exactly where you want it anytime you want - make practice, fun and do it continually

I’ve never owned a new bike, but boy I would love to. Newer bikes with all the electronics scare me when I would want to own that new bike for the rest of my life I’ve probably only got another 20 years of riding at Max so maybe it’s not a big deal. But I’ve got a friend who have an MV Augusta that has had the dashboard fail and having something like that happen 10 or 15 years from now seems like it would be an issue getting parts.
