many of you have been following the progress of my bike. well today, (once it was warm enuf for the bike to start) she turned over, ran, clutch worked, and oil pressure was back. i took her up the street and turned around and came back, just as i pulled the clutch in to idle into the driveway i hear a *snap* *ping ping ping* and the cltuch lever goes limp. WTF. so i take apart the clutch release cover, and i find that the doo-hickey the clutch line connects to bent under pressure. ill have pics up later...

 

fucking doo-hickeys

 

I know right.

 

i suck too, friday my boss ran over my bike and knocked it over. Today at starbucks with zweetdreamz and doingok and i was backing up, my pant leg became stuck on my footpeg, and i lost my balance and dropped my bike. I have the best luck let me tell you haha.

 

Nice riding with you Nathan.......sorry to see that nice R6 go down. I dread the day I drop mine. I got off the James River Bridge exit to take a more scenic route.....sorry for leavin ya', I thought you would follow. No prob.

Get your bike runnin' Tiki

 

Ohhh i thought maybe you had a change of mind and wanted to get your car or something. Sorry about that haha...

 

I feel for ya guys...I know how dissapointing it is when things don't work.

 

someone wanna tell me if i can bend it back or if i need a new do-hickey

 

I'd bend it back, if it doesnt work THEN get a new one. No need to pay for a part you might not need, and it doesn't look as if the pull is no where near the bend so i can't see it getting weak over time. Give it a shot.

 

i guess that was probably your problem going bad... if i remember right its a fairly expensive part
