Guys.
I just want to say a big thank you for all your advice and help in sorting a problem with my Valk.
The thread was:"BELCHING BLUE SMOKE AND USING OIL" Well the problem was sheared rivets in the clutch which was causing a problem selecting all gears and finding neutral.
This problem was solved by you guys, simply a new clutch was needed, we had no idea what was happening as we bled the clutch many times, checked this and that, finally the VRCC  solved it for us.
Also, thank you for you for your instructions in removing the clutch, putting the new one together, and re installing into the basket, it was like we had you all there beside us.Wish I could remember the names of the 3 guys that nailed the problem and advised us on re assembly.
Much obliged

While I was NOT part of the solution I will say-helping hands across the street-block-nation-ocean. This board and the folks that make it all happen are priceless.  cooldude Shared wind with a few of them and would gladly share wind and break bread with any of them. RIDE SAFE.

Glad you got it taken care of! Valker was one the chaps with the correct diagnosis. Your original thread is below if you want to identify the others.
