Trundling my way down the M42 today at a steady 70mph I suddenly noticed the revs were at 5k . instead of the normal 4400 .
Storm clouds hovered above me with thoughts of :
1. I know there is a slight oil mist at the exit hole under the clutch housing so has the main seal gone and the clutch needs to come out.
2. Did I adjust the clutch correctly.
3. Do I carry on to my destination or limp her home.
After riding some five miles at 60 mph to consider my options, I glanced down at the gear indicator only to see I was still in 4th......
My usual trick is to try for 6th, its the first time I have ignored 5th
Should have gone to spec savers.....Those in the UK will understand..
