Roosting Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Light weight , 80-90hp, no suspension, capable of hitting 100mph I'm just surprised there are runners out there. They should all be crumpled up like beer cans. LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bladefever Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) In 1980 this clutch was on the top of the hill. The other manufacturers were still searching. Edited September 5, 2019 by bladefever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, the vice president of Yamaha USA was a good friend of mine when he lived in Hales Corners/Franklin area of Wisconsin, I attended several parties at his place, he went on to become the President of Yamaha USA and moved to California, Jim Gentz was his name, retired now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
