  1. Thanks so there's only a cable adjustment, no set screw and lock nut on the engine.
  2. I can find neutral, but when on the centre stand, putting it in gear to oil the chain, the wheel immediately rotates as if the clutch is not disengaging all the way. It is a 2020 Tracer 900 GT with 12,000 Km. I was a motorcycle mechanic in the 70's but there was no such thing as a slipper clutch then. Cable free play is set as per the manual. Does anyone know how to adjust the clutch elsewhere. We used to have a set screw and nut at the end of the clutch push rod that you could adjust. Just wondering if there's something similar.
  3. Thanks for your reply. I was thinking it would be fine. I run fuel stabilizer for about 5 minutes and have all of the bikes I look after on trickle chargers. I'm sure the metallurgy has changed a great deal in pistons, rings and cylinders since the 70's. No more iron liners in finned aluminum for the most part.
  4. When I was a motorcycle mechanic in the 70's we would see bikes come in in the spring with won't kick start or battery won't turn the engine over. Pistons had rusted into the cylinders. Since then I typically remove the spark plugs and add a few drops of oil to the cylinders before storing for the winter. I have seen some of the videos and have had experience trying to remove the spark plug cap with the integral coil. No fun if you can accomplish it. Anyone out there think this is really necessary? The bike will be in a garage attached to the house (cold but not as bad as outside...down to -10C at times).
