Well here it goes; While drinking a few brews and changing my clubman bars from "instant chiopractor" to "instant dork" , I neglected to notate the location of a few smallparts in the left control area. namely a few 2 inch bolts, a plate with two holes, a spring, a small white plastic bit (with some considerable wear) and a small screw
please help?
Bikebandit.com has schematics, online.
bikebandit isnt going to help. I looked and they dont have exploded view of the controls; it only shows the controls as a unit.
best to have someone take theirs apart and photograph or describe it. Does it work as is?
On more than one occasion, Srinath has referred to this assembly as the most complex part of the whole bike. The only such reference I could find with some quick searches is at the bottom of the old thread My broken blinkers (http://www.gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2683).
Srinath? Any advice?
Thanks for the help guys! I figured it out the next morning. The spring and the little plastic bit are inserted from the bottom of the control and hold tension on the choke rotating assy. The little screw and plate hold them inside, and the 2" screws are the one that hold the whole assy. together.
flipping the bars up made a huge diffrance. now my butt gets sore and not my wrists!!! :cheers:
Yea its a pretty complicated part...especially if you want to take it fully apart...that push button turnsignal cancel and the electrics under it etc are a true mess of wires, plastic parts, metal springs, tiny little screws and odd shaped brackets...which fit in one position and fit better in another position...yuck...Mine had crystallised sand or dust or some like that...most of which had hardened back and was very brick like in texture...Now that was not what he was talking about...The choke friction assy...I opened it and lost the plastic friction piece and had to pillage gino vega's pile for it...so I am no one to give advice on this topic...but you can live without it...Just have your finger on the choke a few extra mins before riding off...It will stay in place by itself actually...but the finger is nice...Of course you could install it back and be like every one else...
Cool.
Srinath.
