Peeked under the cover quickly and the are indeed 4 springs at least. I'll check what kind of tension they have once I get them out. I've had the bike running back in the fall, but only just idling in a garage. Tyres/brakes/battery weren't fit to ride. Looking quickly it seems like the clutch...

Thanks! Out of time for this weekend, so I'll dig through the net through the week and start checking it out next weekend. Thanks again for all the help guys.

OK, so if you're talking 30+ lbs on your clutch arm. There's definitely something up with mine. Mine is nice and smooth through the entire range, but it's maybe 10 lbs of resistence max, consistently though it's movement. Something up with the clutch itself I'm thinking now. Going to pull the...

So still not entirely sure where the issue is with the clutch. I've lubed up the stock cable and it's buttery smooth when it's free. The clutch lever now weakly/barely returns when I release it. Any one have any other tips where to look? Got a few gremlins like this to work out before I can...

Was messing with adjustment screw and have it set to as much tension as possible. It returns fine and snappy without the cable. But with the cable its noticeably less snappy, and once it's on the lever it just won't return. Definitely looks like friction in the clutch cable. I was...

That livery always gets a +1 for me!

Re: 1958 Enfield Indian Twin - Kustom Cafe Racer Project Paint on that tank is just great! ;D

Nope, I've had this bike idling/running only in neutral for the past month, so it's never really been put through it's paces. Thanks! Seems like my manual is missing that page on clutch adjustments. I'll check I'll that stuff tomorrow!

Stock air box back in! Pulled the spark plug out and found this: Typically indicative that it was running rich air/fuel mixture, yes? Was just double checking length on the stock clutch cable, and it seems like there is an issue. Pulling the cable is smooth and the clutch lever arm...

Thanks for dropping some names to get me in the right direction. Not sure if I'm willing to drop top dollar on shocks for a $600 bike, but I'll read up and weigh that decision for myself! Awesome , thanks! Might play it safe and just go with 330mm shocks to get a little bit more length and...

Can's stop thinking about buying new rear shocks! Would Hagon be the top brand to pick up? Or would you all recommend a different name? Price isn't really an issue, but I suppose keep in mind the scope of my project/bike... Also, I've read around that slightly longer shocks are the way to...

Awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing! Just sold my old mobile... Hagon shocks are awfully tempting right now! But I have enough work on my plate and my part pile is growing haha!

Thanks for the thoughts everyone. All things for me to take into consideration!

Curious to what you'd suggest as well. 125's are 27mm, and 350's are 33mm, correct?

Awesome thanks! Already got a fellow lined up who thinks he has a set or two! Love the idea of swapping parts from larger bikes onto the 125!
