Having done 70+ miles on the A10 a couple of weeks ago and it not miss a beat, I went to start it yesterday and all seamed very tight//almost locking up
.
So panic set it and possibly my over active imagination (Its called catastrophizing ). I pulled in the clutch and tried kicking it still appeared locked, but after a few attempts it started to slip and free. Let clutch out still tight and bounced me off the kick start a couple of times.
With the clutch in appeared to be a sort of grindy tinny noise.
So open Gearbox inspection cover and seams like no oil so fill that up (probably took ½ pint).
Open the primary chain inspection cover and the big clutch spring adjustor screw and checked to see is anything is loose as best I can and for oil level (home made dip stick) all seams OK primary possibly a bit tight but not touched that since last summer so should not tighten up.
Finally cross figures and decide to give it another go and she kicks over, then starts all seams fine, but I am still worried (catastrophizing) is that a new noise from the primary side a sort of whistling chirruping noise.
Did not take her out but she warmed up fine all gears appear to select and back wheel goes around.
I really really don’t want to start pulling her apart as I have a project (Matchless G80) in millions of bits.
But should I
?
