How bad is the stud? Somtimes teflon tape can save it.

Done and done. I replaced the rod and everything works perfect, thank you for the suggestion!

Tomorrow I am going to see if any local shops have the part in stock, if not I will be ordering from the Tao of Bao with all my other parts.

Just saw this. The stud was beyond Teflon tape, but I agree I have used that method many times to help the bolt get a grip.

So I called all my local shops and the part is on backorder from japan. $35 dollar part and will take approximately 3 weeks to get here, so I figured I might as well order from taobao instead. Humanbeing supplied me with the cam link and I believe the pushrod I found is correct.

I already made the purchase before I saw this post. Will the parts I listed work? I believe I can still cancel the order.

Works as it should. "Yoybuy" are based in Beijing (Slow & higher domestic shipping fee / int'l fee NOT as good as other TB agent ...) which is PiTA. I would cancel the order ASAP & find another agent. Seller from #78 is just 4 hr drive from SpudRider's favorite agent .

Yellow (for gasworks) tape is better than the white one for this purpose. I ALWAYS use "bulk pack" tape (like these http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=37500295288) that don't stamp ANY safety standard (expect drinkable water) in ALL my "fixes" .

Well shoot... The order status is "Processing" so I am in a chat with the customer support to see if I can cancel the order and get a refund.

Oh no!!! http://www.yoybuy.com/en/help.html?cateid=12881

Yoybuy is working much faster than I expected. Everything is already at their office and they are sending it out asap (in the morning for them). Expected shipping time with DHL is 4 days max so I will update everyone as soon as the parts get here.

Everything arrived today and I spent the past 10 hours in the garage. I have everything almost ready to go, however I am stuck on the clutch adjustment. I need to set the nut in the middle of the clutch basket to set the gap between the pushrod and clutch, but I have no idea what I should be setting it to. When doing this, should I have the slack adjustment on the handle bar all the way in, and what position should the clutch cam be in before I set this up?

Update

Everything is officially done! I got the clutch set up, thanks to Humanbeing and his arsenal of links, then put in the new oil filter and closed the bike up. After a good washing and some nice new oil, I took it out for a spin. Immediately I noticed that the shifting is MUCH easier and no longer feels like you are forcing the bike into gear. The problem is I always had to push the lever really hard to get the bike to shift, which has lead to an improper shifting technique, time to re train my brain

The local auto store had a sale on Mobile 1300 oil, so I purchased a gallon of it for future use. Any opinions on this oil? I asked the guy behind the counter if it has friction modifiers in it and he stared at me and said "Oil makes car smooth run no friction anymore oil makes slippery good". Instead of trying to decipher this new language I just purchased the last gallon they had.

Anyways, a BIG thank you to everyone who helped me with this bike. There were a few times I was ready to throw it off a cliff and let the gators get it After riding for a while I will return with another update to let you all know how its been holding up!

The shifter should definitely be more of a gentle click to move between gears, so it sounds like you've nailed it.

If Mobil 1300 is the 15W40 I think it is, it's a good choice.

Haynes published a book (ISBN: 9780857337504) for this bike . Noobs often buy that for reference.
For whom can self taught : factory shop manual + 'net + pals knows bike is more than enough ...
