Hello everyone.
I have owned a Buell Blast 2001 for about a year and finally did my 1st fluid change and clutch adjustment. I changed the motor oil (10W40), oil filter (KN-177), transmission fluid(20W50), and did a clutch adjustment as explained in the maintenance manual.
I was quite pleased with myself after having re-assemble the bike with no “spare parts”, but it is now harder to start than before and the motor dies if I leave it running in neutral at a low idle speed.
If I get it started, it runs ok when I am riding it, but I have not had it past the 2nd gear and I would like to resolve any issues before hitting the road again.
I am confident that I have not overfilled the motor oil, but I am less sure about the transmission fluid, and I could definitively have messed up the clutch adjustment...
I have noticed that even when I fully depress the clutch, the bikes still do not role as easily if it is in neutral, but I am not sure if this was also the case before.
I want to get back to riding as soon as possible, so any advice or guidance would be much appreciated.
