Today I went all through it and it appears the back wheel is a little bent (loose spokes?). My Dad says most motorcycle shops can fix the wheel. The float in carb sticks so I will need to rebuild it.
The major problem I found is that there is a slight knock in first gear only. I squeeze the clutch and it stops, let go of clutch and it's back. All other gears are fine, no noise at all. So I am thinking could be a chipped gear or broken tooth? I am sick about having to tear into the motor. The thing purrs so nice.
I will have to buy a shop manual, and I see there are 2 different ones, what manual do you guys suggest?
thanks for the help with this bike.
Oh, and I ordered a front brake lever (handle) today. $11.90 shipped.
