Clutch and gearwire service

No way around; the broken clutch adjustment bolt would have to be removed the hard way:

 First by drilling larger and larger hole... First version

 Improved setup... second version. This actually saved the day, without having to dismantle the exhaust.

 Last but not least: refreshing the threads. I actually managed to save the existing threads this way. New clutch wire was installed without further hassle.

Next object of concern: A stubborn gearbox. Inspection of gear shift mechanism revealed...

 ...that nobody ever had adjusted the cables. Tightening the cables did the trick!

Same with the rear brake; adjustment was all that was needed. 

A quick oil change, and voila: Ready for maiden voyage.
