My brother always rode old triumphs and nortons. His sensibilities is improving. His latest acqusition:-
Ran out of time to take the montesa for a ride, but did try the DR650, long been interested in one of them. Good thing it is too.

Always handy to keep a spare cable on the bike. I have mine stored parallel to the one in use, with the ends covered, just in case.
The limitation to changing a clutch cable by the side of the road will be the weather, and dropping the little bush the handlebar end fits into to seat into the handlebar! Beware of that one, as it's a right pita. Worse at night.The other thing to maintain is the bearing in the clutch lever at the gearbox end....otherwise...
....that one will really test your gear changing technique! It's an easy job to do.

No bearings on the stone-aged 77 models Steve. Just a stick o' metal and steel pin and grease nipple and lots of oil and dirt forming a paste to keep it all nice and floppy like.SteveD wrote:.The other thing to maintain is the bearing in the clutch lever at the gearbox end....
