Body wear is the bugbear . Thats wot the other bits bolt onto . If the bodys are fine , why , a 10 yr old could . . .
If the slide bores are worn in the body ? its as the material is a bit susss, good air filtration helps, as does
removeing the choke. Big score marks , several , are not unlikely unfortunately. If not present the units are serviceable .
The biggest larf is if youve got the plastic cable slide junction . Virtually garbage , the slide cocks so the action at the carbs arnt progressive.
Theres a ancient long chromed brass with ( longer ) steel slider / junction block .Which if clean and oiled will give smooth even action .
The choke mechanisms are a seperate chapter in the same book , best discarded and tops plugged . if youre not a commutor .
Changeing to a Dual Cable twist grip , with smooth cable runs and the individual adjusters positioned at the centre of a straight run , taped or
cable tied ( Arg , Thats wot theyre for ! :wink: ) against a pad so as not to rattle or fret / chaff paintwork , and youll be convinced that even
the quality metal junction assembly is an impedement to smooth and accurate throttle action , and excess weighting , due to double the individual
load through the single cables curve from the handlebars .
Also the gearing of the standard twist grip is low to diquise the friction , requireing excesse wrist flexure , if possible , stop to stop ( shut to fully On . )
Sitting on the machine , Roll the throttle to fully open with Yr left hand. Grasp with the right at a comfortable ' fuly open ' position, and maintain grip .
WITHOUT MOVEING on the machine ,
Rolling it shut without releaseing , will it go near the idle stop . whoops , oh well , it stops excessive acceleration and resulting consequences whilst
becomeing familiar with the machines operateing characteristics .
A Surprise to learn you need the elbow down near the knee fully open if gripped from
arm out wrist flat. And good fun seeing what she actually does go like fully open . :shock:
A number of features were possibly incorperated to maintain the coustomer base, hitting things endagered the pilot .Like current monkey rider positions
which encumber accurate control of the machine ., by hanging the driver in the wind like the washing .
agreed weighting footrests assists line holding ,steering with the feet, particularly if your arms are folded . :wink:
but generally Commando's benefit from a securely
placed rider , and finger tip solenoid like operation of Controls. Particularly the Gearshift , Forceing the mecanism inhibits actuation and mangles internals.
Part of ' gear change tichnique ' is being familiar with the ' free off ' point in clutch engagement / disengagement .Ordinarily the lever is not pulled to the bars , but to the disengagement poit , then the gear selector operated , and lever released . in one continuos sequential motion .Why then there's .
