Any recalls on disfunctional clutch baskets?

 

[him]

Naw but if you get a 99-01 ron ayers sales some the equipment to make those clutches like the 02-05. Put them in mine and they made a world of difference.

 

[Rycardo]

Thank you, by the answers.

Blurry perf. vision @ 3/4 to full throttle on an '04 LE in 1st gear.

(Oh, and a loose coolant hose that left my stranded in the rain for 2 hours waiting for a ride

).

99-02 possible starter idle gear problems. Mostly reported with 02s.

Got an 04 that I can't ride........
It's "balls cold" out and there's snow on the road!!!    
Is that a problem in Portugal?

Not for me, unless I am looking for it. The only problem is showers during a couple of months, from october/november to april/march, but usually these don't last long. This year the winter has been very dry. Cold but not that much. * End of Weather Report *

My 2004 I find I have to let it idle a few mins after starting, to warm up before taking off otherwise it cuts-out again at idle at the traffic lights. Once slightly warm it is fine and responsive.
