elie boone Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 If you have checked the saddle bearing then you probably have checked the gear lever bearing aswel, is the clutch fully disengaging ? could be a pressure plate faillure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Just a thought:Could your clutch be about giving up resulting in an unable do fully disengage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigape Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Further investigation in the selector area found a pile of grease cleaned all this out found the saddle mounting pin area heavily Scored and the grease full of bits of black plastic from previous broken saddles a brass one had been fitted at some time put everything back without gaiter and gave it a test drive .All is well !!.credit card breathed a sigh of relief it was heading for a hammering. One good thing from this no heat build up in cockpit .Cooked hand but legs and chassis rails cool . Further investigation required Any suggestions to direct heat build up from this area.
