Initial check of the Silver Bullet

Just got the scooter today, and tomorrow we head for Sokndal and Vestlandsrun 2013! Plan was to take the new scoot for a ride. But first: A quick check. First inspection uncovered a gearing and clutch issue.

Clutch and gear needed a check, and as I suspected;

A damaged clutchcable...

Significant slack in the gearing cables will also impair gearing quality... adjustment needed.

Clutch cable wire was dragged out using a bit of force, but fitting a new cable was more difficult than expected. Turns out the adjustment mechanism and clutch cable on the engine side was distorted some way. No other solution than to dismantle.

Have a close look at this picture; during dismantle I managed to break the adjuster while inside casing. The cable sleeve has seen better times, question is whether it can be shortened beyond damage. Alternative is to pull a new cable sleeve, arghh. Time to take a timeout, this will have to be fixed another day. 

This scooter is NOT going to Vestlandsrun 2013.
