The "clunk" when you turn it off is normal. So is when you put it in first gear for the first time today and it lurches forward and dies UNLESS you burp the throttle a little bit. It's the clutch plates sticking.

Pics or it didn't happencarlrf wrote:First thing I did was de-sticker it. I am not necessarily opposed to stickers but that's one of those thing I want to put on. So all the stickers are off currently. Those darned twisted throttle stickers were tough, they just kept shredding rather than peeling and yes I did use heat.
Next I tore in to the hand guards. Someone has cut the lever ends off, the grips were loose, the guards were pointed upward and when taking bolts out I could tell they were in a real bind. The throttle tube ended up having to come off too, as someone had done a nasty job of retrofitting aftermarket Scott grips on the OEM throttle tube. Took a dremel, file and sandpaper to make it happy again. I had to do a little tweaking on guards to get things lined up as well. Of course I helped support the anti-seize industry as usual when things went back together.
Nice looking bike Carl, can't wait to see what you do with this one.. Couldn't believe it when u said you sold the husky.
Btw, stickers add HP, or if on a KTM, reduce weight
