Well, I REALLY WAS looking for help. That’s why I kept asking.....
Clarence, thanks for the answer of starting with the .005 spacer. That gives me a starting off point. I currently have the .002, .003 & .005 on it all together. I didn’t know if that was way too much, or just barely enough.
Ed. You may not realize it, but you’re response was pretty darned mean. I was asking for my own ignorance and not because I “couldn’t accept Clarence’s (our any one else’s) answer.” I was truly confused and simply looking for a place to start. Clarence came through with that ‘suggestion’ which is all I was looking for. How much for a starting point.
From my perspective it was like if someone asked where should a spark plug be gapped and everyone was answering ‘try somewhere between .000 and .050. You’ll figure it out eventually when the bike runs.’ It wasn’t like I was asking for a carved in stone answer to ‘what premix ratio should I use.’
Remember, I said the clutch issue was something which was brand new to me. The blue printing instructions you wrote were concise & easy to follow. I easily did 2 different clutch cages. But the spacer issue I had NO IDEA WHERE TO START. I didn’t know if 1, .002 was a place to start, or if I needed a .002, a .003 and a .005 all together as a starting point. I wasn’t trying to hold someone to a specific answer and was coming back later to say your were wrong.
If heard rumors in the past of people who left the forum because they were treated rudely or like their question was stupid. Now I can understand why someone would feel that way.
This place is a gold mine of combined talents and information. And if the idea is to gain a bigger membership, responding like you did last evening should be avoided to prevent other people, who might have a lower tolerance than me, to just quit and leave.
Remember, you can’t read a tone of voice. You can’t read a voice inflection. And I’m guessing from this exchange that you can’t read a real sense of confusion, and that causes assuming.
My question may have been an age old question that has been answered in the past, but to me, it was new and difficult to understand the apparent (to me anyway) vagueness as to how it was answered. A simple ‘try starting with just the .005 spacer first and add or delete as needed,’ would have sent me happily on my way.
Thanks, in the future, for your “continued” understanding.
