[Tanx] Fwd: More TA Stuff

[Tracy Cerrato]

From Herman Kasper

> Hi TA fans---
> 
> I always was unhappy with the effort it takes to pull the clutch. 
> Of all the bikes I ever owned, it was by far the hardest to pull.
> 
> In the past, I had tried to improve it , by letting very fine oil run down into the cable, with  a taped- on "funnel".
> I guess whatever lubricant was inside the cable, was gummed up. After all the bike is 31 yrs old!
> 
> Finally ,a few wks ago I ordered a new (aftermarket) clutch cable. Came from England ,  cost only about 10 british pounds incl shipping.
> 
> Just installed it, it fit perfectly!
> I am EXTREMELY  happy with the DRAMATIC  improvement!   🙂
>

> nOTE:
> The 6mm screws holding the small heatshield (pic) were  frozen solid ---baked in!
> 
> I sheared one off-- but was able to get it out .
> Used "anti-seize" compound with the new screws---same stuff I put on spark plug threads. 
> 
> i thought you possibly  might find this helpful. Pls share with other TA- friends if you'd like.

> Cheers  Herm
