LOL...better sooner than later! Just tear off the crankcase cover for her sometime and show her how it actually works, explain when the plate is out it spins freely when the bike is in gear...as you let the lever/clutch out, the plates stop spinning and start grabbing each other, transferring the energy to propelling the bike. "Theory", Visualization and practice, that is the fastest way to learn anything.
the stock one works great! i got some wd40 in there and it pulls so easy! i don't think it can get much easier
Not advisable to use WD40 as a lubricant,it will free up a seized joint, but has little to none lasting lubricating properties.
It will soon dry out and become tacky, put some lubricating oil in there with a puff of graphite powder.
What is a good lubricating oil that won't gum up and become tacky itself? I need to do that for my front brake cable, and I WD40'd it the other day and sure enough, it's already getting sticky.
And blasterman....well, she might fool you and be really interested in it. My middle niece, a complete girly girl, never wanted to get dirty. My brother, a shady tree mechanic, asked her to help him one day hand him tools while he was buried in the engine compartment of his truck...next thing you know, she's in there because she's smaller, turning wrenches and getting greasy and my brother is handing her tools. I think he was replacing a couple bent rods and rockers. Anyhow, she did the entire job of pulling the rods, replacing them, replacing the rockers and adjusting the torque on the springs and putting the valve covers back on...now, she's a little grease monkey on the weekends. During the week though, All-American athlete, honor student and in band and works as editor in chief on the school newspaper, you would never know she has dirt under her nails....and the boys swoom over her, pisses her boyfriend right off. Anyhow, my point, you never know, you might just peak an interest in your sister.
I like to use sewing machine oil on my cabling, it has low viscosity and in time it will flow all the way down the cable.
I lubricate quite often, at least once a month, more often if I am riding a lot.
LMAO...so much came to mind. 8-|
I can't wait to go to the local hobby shop and ask for sewing machine oil, being relatively young and definitely don't look like I am a seamstress. I will probably get the same look as a guy walking into a quicky mart at 11pm, asking for eye drops while he can't quick blinking one eye. :-[ BTW, if that ever happens to you and the guy hands you condoms, look at the box, slide them back and tell him you need the bigger size...the look you get in return will be classic...of course, if there is a girl working the counter, make sure you change 1 digit when she asks for your phone number.

HAHAHA me to but you beat me to the punch lol ha
I'd be like to the girl hey where's the fitting room at.Well there's an old wax on wax off with learning to ride...learn be doing it.
Me at first I was like o well...ok I'll ride (my buddies 300 fourtrax that 's a utility and shifts) to get arround his farm, i rode that for like 2 months. Then my dad got me a little chinese 250 4 stroke 4-wheeler and I rode that like every other day or so when I got home from school. I did that for I wanna say 2 1/2-3 years then I really got hooked by learning the vast amount and types of 4-wheelers out there. But yea the moral of the story is that first part and the more I seam to try the better luck I seam to have.I:I so have her keep at
Repairing sewing machines, sometimes comes into my job description, and the oil used to lubricate them is very thin.
Being thin I thought I would give it a try to lubricate a heat affected cable, an it worked.
A tip for purchasing it, just wink and make them wonder!
