I am a first time motorcycle owner and am starting my first project bike.
My goal for this summer is to get it cleaned up, running smoothley and well tuned. If I can get it running well enough I will break it down this winter and give a go at fully restoring her with new paint, and chrome.
I had to install a new ignition switch, points, plugs and after that I got it started. I can imagine it needs the carbs cleaned but before I undergo that I am noticing a problem with the transmission/clutch.
Maybe someone can help me trouble shoot? It seems to leave neutral alright but it barely wants to roll forward in 1st gear. and after first I cant seem to find any other gears
... I am a new street bike rider, but have ridden dirtbikes and don't feel the shifting problems are my own... should I start with removing the clutch cover to see what lies beneath? should I start with new fluids to lube it up?
I hope this is the place to ask questions, I have been looking for an online community to help me out but have yet to find an active one.
