Yeah, that sounds correct. Gotta' wonder if you had some unusual wear on
the disk.
Fortunately, the PO had included two new sets of EBC FA-18 pads with the
bike.
How do you like those? I am running a single disk with the stock 14MM
pump and it is, um, firm. Pads with more initial bite would be welcome.
They work pretty good, great stopping power and very progressive. I
think I have a 12mm master cylinder, which gives a bit more "feel" to
the brakes.
but it sounds like the either the transmission input hub or theflywheel is worn,
All brand new from Manfred Hecht's Brooklyn Batcave. I think the plates
are new and grabby. Also, I am accustomed to my nicely broken in Jackal
dry clutch. I will adjust the cable and wait and see.
That's odd. My Ambo's new clutch was silky smotth and progressive from
day one. By any chance did you use any moly paste on the splines?
