    some of this is weird

    Yesterday was another Christmas for me as some more parts came in. I ordered an EBC clutch fiber kit from Dennis Kirk. (got an exhaust, UNI filter, recoil cable, and clutch kit all in 2 days from them)

    on the back of the EBC box it says: (along with installation procedures)

    "SAFETY WARNING
    Never start a motorcycle whilst in gear

    Never reverse a motorcycle with the clutch depressed and a gear engaged

    always apply front brakes when depressing clutch before selecting gears

    never engage gears from a standing start with engine speed above 1500 RPM"

    lol like i said some of it is weird. maybe its just the wording. alot of safety warnings are over the top too. just found it interesting. what do you think?

    oh and i got the steel cable for the recoil starter thats advertised for ATCs in dennis kirk from Parts unlimited. Its a super stiff cable like a throttle cable. its looking kinda sketchy. i will let you know how it works, have any of you used one before?

    I have one of those cables on my 83 185s for years. It works great, and ends the broken pull cord issue.
    Sounds like they put some of those warnings through a translator and got some missed meanings. Sad thing is most of those warnings come about because someone did something stupid.

    im super glad the cable works good. i was worried the stiffness would be too much for the recoil spring to suck in.
    i guess i cant use the clutch plates either...."always apply front brakes when depressing clutch before selecting gears"....110s dont have front brakes....im screwed =(.......lmao

    or all their safety warnings are perfectly fine. its just the translator from wherever they come from is a little slow. =P

    although the Installation instructions/warnings are perfectly fine.
