So I guess I jinxed myself by patting myself on the back when I got my clutch to work. lol
take a trip 3 blocks down to timmies and it fails on me. Stuck in reverse and half way out of a parking stall.
I got it out of reverse and limped it home.
Well Im back up and running again. fixed a couple leaks and tuned the carb. sounds even better now.
Thinking about taking a test drive down the highway today. if the weather holds.

What was causing it to stick? Just needed adjustment or was something binding?

No. the lines were leaking at the bleeder screw. I knew it was leaking but I let it sit too long. then when I went to timmies that day air got into the system and it wasnt disengaging all the way.
All good now though. Still havent driven it since.

I can count on one hand how many times I've been able to drive it this summer. 
Each time was a blast. Even managed to miss the meet and greet in Ponoka that I was so looking forward to.
Last ride was a good test drive on the highway. Handled wonderfully. lots of waves and thumbs. Nice powerful ride. I have a few things already on the list for this winter that need to be done. Some of them will result in the "while Im at it syndrome"
Wish I could get it out more this year but having the extra money for appraisal insurance plates and all that isnt in the budget unfortunately.
I take it for short "test drives" but I dont like leaving that to chance.
maybe Ill see some of you in Ponoka sometime as there are still some really nice test drive days still to come.
Peace
