and an introduction ... just joined the list. I've got a recently-acquired, track-dedicated MC28 and I live in Japan. There are some awesome tracks here, including Suzuka and Motegi.
A few quick Q.s:
1) Do I need special tools to change the clutch? And what is the wear limit? I've got a strong clutch set I want to put in the bike, but one of the friction plates is damaged. Can I re-use one of my old, stock plates instead of the damaged one?
2) Sometimes under acceleration I get a click that feels like it's coming from the front end, but could be transmitted from the back through the chassis. I've tried to check for play in the steering head, but can't find any. Could it be the chain? This must be a common problem, or is it just normal?
3) When I got the bike everything was pretty worn out, and I've sorted most things apart fro the rear suspension, which I am assuming is in need of attention. Before I pay out the cash to have it rebuilt, is there a way to test what condition it's in?
Thanks in advance for you collective thouughts and expertise.
