Re: Just bought a MC. Oh dear.
Wish I could help you with the steering clutches, but that’s probably the only thing I never had apart on my old MC. It’s a great little machine to have around. It’s so light footed that you can backfill a leach field with it without compaction. One thing to look for is any cracks causing a coolant ...
