Just fired up the RZ after a full engine rebuild! Will ride for 40-50 break in miles this afternoon before loading up. Will leave early tomorrow morning and should pull up in around 10:30-11:00 am.

Since I live in NC, I have quite a bit farther to drive, Evans. We hope to see you around 4 or 5 pm.

Well, suited up for the break in ride and can't get the clutch to work correctly when the clutch lever is pulled to allow bike to be put in gear?? Tried moving the cable barrel adjuster both ways and it still won't allow engagement. Hoping someone can help me figure this out as I'll load and bring it tomorrow. Bummer..... :banghead

That's amazing Jim but I know NC is a wide expansive state. It's 4 hrs from me.

A little over 7 for us, but we probably won't leave until 9 or 10.

Evans make sure you bring a o ring for the coolant pipe in case we pull the clutch cover

Stay in it when it comes on the pipe, no need to be scared...

Will do Tim. My plan is as soon as I get there, to start wrenching underneath one of the lean to sheds there at DGMR. I will drain gear oil and pull the clutch cover. Factory service manual coming too. Will need help setting actuator on clutch pack side and arm on left side. Bike sounds so crisp now and a shame I can't ride it yet but that will be remedied. All part of the Gap experience. :mrgreen: I love summer camp for Old Folks on 2 Strokes! 8-)
