Hey, These Guys are the Best in Town!!!!! Seriously!!!! I broke what could not be broken!!! I was about to throw it into a lake and hope some watery tart would fix it.

It all started when I was on the R1 Forum and they said -- "That Graves Clutch install is easy!!!!" that's if you are Yamaha Certified Mechanic from Japan!!!!

So in my infinite wisdom - I thought I would take a crack at it. This is what I ended up with:

So I thought about it for a while(self reflecting) -- what was I doing wrong???

Soon as I opened the Clutch cover - I knew these people would be outside of my house:

I called Jim (TFOG) and gave him my life story (blah blah blah - clutch cover - clutch cable/arm - blah blah blah) :


Jim calmed me down and talked me out of doing this:

He was really cool about the horribly/stupid stuff I did to it and said "bring it on up!!!" I was shocked

He didn't laugh at me!!!


After a couple of days I got a called saying it was done!!!!

He told me the problem - and he gave me a great price!!! He didn't hold me at gun point like some of these Stealerships would do:

I am so happy:

My bike will look like this again:

Hopefully I will be able to do some "track days" this Summer:

even if I am forced to be an unmbrella girl

I am so happy - with the money I saved- I might want to go get a Tattoo or something:

Jim (TFOG) - YOU RAWK!!!!

Well, I got my baby home. Thanks Jim for helping me get the Bike in the wheel chock. My Inspirational Speeches weren't coaxing the Bike to jump into the chock (it wasn't going into the chock like the ball that doesn't want to go home!!!). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFIr9kfYI3M&feature=related

So after I got it home, I fired it up and that clutch is as smooth as Butter - WOW!!! Thanks Jim!!! it is working awesome!!!!
