minisweeper Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Nope it's still perfectly straight. Could barely see or tell what speed i was doing so i took it very easy indeed. Now I just need to keep my fingers crossed I get the hang of the gear change before the clutch wears out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samcooke Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 QUOTE Now I just need to keep my fingers crossed I get the hang of the gear change before the clutch wears out! Bit of a lift and bang it up a gear - no need to use the clutch, except on the way down. Even if you do fook the clutch - £80 and half an hour's work later and you're away. Welcome to the dreamy world of the BEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minisweeper Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Yeah. I can change up reasonably well (though 2nd to 3rd can be a bit troublesome?) it's the down shift i'm struggling slightly more with. I'm sure i'll get the hang of it once i'm more used to the throttle positions. Just keep your fingers crossed for some decent b****y weather this year!

hogman Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 You will be fine, BEC's just take a little time to get used to. Its got a new Barnett race clutch in there, fully serviced with new plates & springs and front plate etc so dont worry it will take some abuse! Rev and use the clutch going down, just lift no clutch going up. Glad you got home safely, hope you get plenty of good weather to use her now.
