I have the impression that after installing the rear swing arm that the adjustment is pretty touchy. Basically how do you align the rear wheels? I'd like to get into the swingarm and lube the joints , but dont want to permanently screw up anything. Thanks Pete
Pete,
I have to agree with Ian, I've always made sure mine was centered, by measuring each side. Each side should be tight and protruding the same length out. To get the studs out I use two ground flat nails clampped in needlenose visegrips.I also put alittle anti-sieze on those fine threads.

Seems that my clutch is not releasing all the way every once in

- mostly after riding for at leash 30 minutes. The brake is enough to hold it in place but sometimes the engine stalls. When I had the engine out for a oil seal work a few years back, I got new clutch discs but didn't upgrade to the deeper hub (stupid me!); the old hub looked good but I guess not good enough.
To ask the obvious, isn't it true I have to remove the engine and tranny to do a clutch R&R rather than just the tranny?

No you don't have to remove the engine/trans assemby. The trans will come out without the engine. Start tearing the bike down at the rear. I remove the rr wheel/ swingarm together. The rr brake linkage has to come apart before it can come over the frame. Put that aside, remove anything eles that will get in your way. I noticed on Eldo's that the engine may have to be pivoted upward to clear the frame. Before any teardown I would try the adjuster on the clutch arm at the back of the trans.
