Looks like a good ride. Traffic was light. Weather was perfect. What more could you want?
Looks like it is about time for you to take another ride thru the desert loop and make a video like you posted before. The Palo Verde, Mesquite and other desert plants are blooming.
While your riding, you might want to think about using the clutch a bit less. Several times it sounded like you clutched in without shifting while you were approaching a stop light.
I mention this because the old non UCE clutches don't have a real bearing in the clutch release mechanism. (The UCE uses a ball type thrust bearing).
They use a rod with a spherical end on it that pushes against a rod with a flat surface.
In theory the point of contact will be close to 0 feet/second velocity but with a slight amount of wear on the contact point it can generate a lot of heat. Kinda like an inertia welder thing with the two parts wanting to weld themselves together.
It's one saving grace is there is a little oil in the area to try to lubricate the sliding surfaces.
That's also the reason you don't want to sit at a stop holding the clutch in until the light changes.
Thanks again for the video.
