And you noticed which side of the intersection DR and I were on when it flamed out ?

Hers runs ok, but when the clutch is adjusted with correct free-play, the engagement poit is at the very end of the lever travel and hard to control. Found a 650 Vstar forum on Delphi, and this seems to be a common complaint. Solution is excess free-play

I saw an old dude on a bike today wearing black sneakers and black socks. That was not cute.

Had the same problem with mine last year. My mechanic fixed it. If she needs a fix, hook her up with me and I will check to see if he will fix it for her. He found other problems with mine and really did some good work on my bike. He is absolutley the BEST and is very reasonable.
