    Hi Ally to the forum I think those clutches work by centrifugal force low revs disconnect and a Vee belt is gradually spun out of the pulley to give a higher gear. it may rattle a bit as the fulcrum bob weights move around in the clutch. that's all I can remember about auto gears from when I was a YOOF many moons ago drewps

    problem is kids are empowered with no moral guidence or repercussions. they know their rights and being a minor can drum up all sorts of trouble for adults. My wife runs an after school club and there are really really weird and disturbed kids out there. My wife tells the parents there's a problem (eg shitting themselves aged 8 and spreading it all over the walls etc) and say its not their child!!! WTF? no parenting skills at and only interested in their own selfish world without a child. then that parent "treats" them to a McDonalds!! I could go on but I'm getting too wound up now!!!

    I've just averted being killed on the roads today, by not riding my bike or going outside at all! now that can be a proven fact and is 100% effective.

  17. any machine shop will put new guides in as they are standard parts and will need to be reamed to fit the valve. get the valves from motoward, granbys, fosters motomax in UK, the valves should still be listed. part # 1mo-12111-00 inlet part # 1mo-12121-01 exhaust when you get your valves take em to the machine shop to get the guides done.

    have you seen 50cc racing? cool bikes, 20000 rpm and they don't slow down for corners
  19. it effectivley lengthens the exhaust pipe without making it longer. this makes it quieter. some bikes lose mid range power when this is bypassed with aftermarket exhausts (like my old cx500 i used to have) drewps
