Great answer Ian! Regarding pipes, not sure. I had Triumph style 2/pc cones on my 550 that were much lighter than stock, always had to paint them & were too loud. I'd bought original exhaust from member Graham Rogers I never used.

If your clutch is slipping, it’s more likely that your clutch plates are worn, and need to be replaced… the slave cylinder, and the rod inside it, only push the plates apart, there is no “length” adjustment. The only other reason I can think of is that the rod is rusty or caked with crud, and is not coming all the way back to its’ “resting” position. I’d say rebuild the slave cylinder, clean everything well, lightly lubricate the rod, and see if your clutch stops slipping. If it continues to slip, it’s time to start looking for clutch replacement videos on youtube! 😄 Ian On Aug 12, 2022, at 7:32 AM, William M <wilmic...@gmail.com> wrote: Hello All,just under a month ago, I posted a question about "my poor clutch", to which Bernie and Mike kindly replied to.Finally just watched the great youtube video on the slave cylinder rebuild...My question is, can the slave cylinder be causing my clutch slippage?Forgive my ignorance! Exhaust questions,I've always preferred the chrome pipes on the 83-85(?) NH 650 to the black finish pipes on mine...Question, will those pipes easily bolt on the 85 NH 700, and if so, does anyone know where to find them?
