Re: Clutch lever size?

Thanks xtrider, found that the perch was not standard but managed to file and shape lever to fit :thumb:

BTW settled for a TKC80 in the end as the T63's were currently unavailable, Continental don't do a 130 so went for 140 , well stoked, thanks again for your advice :)

Clutch lever size?

Today I received a clutch lever ordered from eBay, it is identical in shape to my broken one except when I went to fit it the ear (for want of a better word) was too thick for the perch.

Now I don't know if the lever or the perch is not a 1VJ one and was wondering if someone wouldn't mind popping ...

Rear tyre 1VJ

Hey guys,

I've always fitted 4.00 x 18 on my 1VJ just because that was what it came with. I spent last night trawling many posts and reviews re different tyres and narrowed my choice down to two, TKC 80 and E 09.

On further investigation I discovered that Mitas don't do the E 09 in a 4.00 x 18 ...

Re: Generator or rectifier-regulator

Hey Ronald, you were spot on with the poor earth diagnosis :thanks: ,

the 13.3v was measured with the engine running at idle with the lights off, that was on Saturday. We did about 100 miles yesterday and this morning it read 12.8. On closer inspection after reading your reply I noticed that the ...

Re: Generator or rectifier-regulator

Hi, from a newbie to the forum :holawave:

I too have a charging issue, have run the checks as described and am getting a nice similarity between X,Y and Z but only 13.3 v from the rectifier/regulator to the battery, please could somebody confirm that this is causing a slow discharge of my battery ...
