As I need the bike for a trip in the beginning of July, I need to change the clutchwire ASAP. My old Shadow had a hydraulic clutch, so this was a new challenge for me!
Time to purchase "The answer to life, the universe and everything" (295,- NOK ($49)):
And, of course; A new clutch wire. - I found one in mcartikler.no that fits, for 198,- NOK ($33). Also bought a new airfilter airfilter for 206,- NOK ($34).
Changing the airfilter was easy. Remove the side cover, un-strap the tool box (NEEDS CLEANING!), remove another cover, throw out old filter.
It was a notable difference with new and old filter. She pulls much more air now! (sorry, no pictures, didn't think about it)
Here is the old clutch wire:
It hardly moves at all:
BIG difference with the new wire, bike is possible to drive! =)
TO-DO list:
- Change bulbs in instrument panel
Change clutch wire- Change fork seals and oil
- Install heated grips
Change airfilter- Order keys for givi boxes
- Fix indicators
- Buy and mount new top box with break light
- Fix everything else
- Clean tool box
