[QUOTE="vince998, post: 10966, member: 261"] I´ve checked the cam spindle, and everythings as it should be (its lockwired anyway!!!) Has anybody else any ideas? No idea to stupid :) I´m saying this because i know that if i strip the gearbox down, i´ll find a miriad of small points that aren´t quite right (the last time the gearbox saw daylight was probably 20 - 30.000 miles ago), and spend an absolute fortune putting them right. With my old FJ1200, i can "flick it" and carry on riding, it doesn´t bother me, but with the vincent (it was my dads bike and i´ve got pictures somewhere of me as a baby in a sidecar next to it) i can´t leave alone unless everythings spot on. This must be a generation phenomenon??? I know quite a few guys twice my age (and owners of vincent for decades) who are willing to flick and ride as i do my Yamaha. I experienced this last time with the clutch. everything was worn out (but it still worked as it should, perfectly!!!) so i spent many hours boring/sleeving spring plungers, replacing parts worth a small fortune, because in my eyes it needed doing. Outcome? it still worked as it should (no better no worse!!:rolleyes:) Come on guys, help me save money here :D Thanks [/QUOTE]
