Based on my experiance with the dealers,I decided I needed a basic set of metric tools , a Valk manuel
 & this forum, so far it's working out well......Don't get me wrong....if there was someone..I'd be there.Good luck!

May I ask what clutch problems do you have. I have clutch problems on my valk as well.
Difficult to find neutral and changing gears.Done all the checks as suggested by vrcc guys.
Eg bled the clutch, expel possible air pockets,bushings on the clutch lever, etc, slight improvement

I have a rumbling sound coming from the engine that disappears when I pull the clutch lever. A mechanic, but not a Honda mechanic, found metal and rubber shavings in the clutch cover.

Dogg or David Albrecht lives over near Ocean City in MD and he is a fine Valk mechanic. I will try to get in touch with him if need be.
