Hey All,

Well....I am crossing my fingers on this. Installed the new clutch plates
and intermediate plate on the White Eldo and everything appears to be
good...no grabbing at all.

When Ed and I pulled the assembly apart I was careful to look closely at all
the components...everything looked good with the exception of the
intermediate plate....which showed uneven wear (very shiny on one part but
looking like plates weren't even touching on another part). Not sure if the
problem was the intermediate plate or the clutch plates. I guess I will
never know....unless I get daring and install the plates into another bike
:-)

I'll be more sure after 100 miles....which should be done on Sat.

Thanks from all of you for all the advice and discussion on this. It has
been a pain dealing with this (engine out three times) but I have learned
alot about these bikes in the process.

Ciao...Ian
