What have i done?
 

I was doing burn outs on my drive and everything was going to plan. however now my front brake no longer holds, also the clutch lever now has to be almost fully let out before it even bites. waht have i done to my beloved sv650s k4? :cry: :cry: :cry: :help: i have booked it in at my local dealer but i hope to fix it my self before it goes in hope it does not cost a lot.

Re: What have i done?
 

Why :?:

You've proabably shagged your clutch :roll:

no sympathy sorry, sounds like a knackered clutch or adjustment

Oh dear :(

Look at it this way mate, you learnt 2 things today.

1/ how to do a burnout
2/ the things that can go wrong if you do

Bad luck mate.

And on your drive????? Bet your neighbours love you :shock:

You silly sod.

Bring it to selkent/soho i'll take a look, your clutch proberly just needs adjusting.

Your front brake nolonger holds? When your doing burnouts or at all?

If its when your trying to do burnouts, you might have the revs too high to start with ;)

i just wanted to try it (couristry killed the hall) so how much does a shagged clutch cost? #-o

Nothing, they come for free - However, a new one will cost you an arm & a leg :roll:

Infact, what am i saying do it ya self...

Under the clutch leaver rubber bit, spin the lock nut, and scre the other bit in. (If you cant to it, then yell!)

Dan

It'll probably need more adjustment than that, top-end is for fine adjustment, he may need the bottom of the clutch cable adjusting before the top...

most of my neighbours are ex bikers they were opeming their windows to let the burning rubber in gotta love those oap's :shock: there always asking me about my bike.
