[QUOTE="NC Ryder, post: 952392, member: 18226"] Update from today: While doing the advanced TBS today I went ahead and undid the spring release. That only took me 1 12" ziptie, 4 hours of time, and an infinity of patience. When done I took it for a ride and believe the following to be true: 1) Previous owner also did a spring unwind, as the throttle spring 'hook' was barely resting on the catch before I rewound it 2) When decelerating there is the aforementioned 'pop' and there is no longer the need to push the throttle all the way forward 3) When coming to a complete stop it still requires braking to get it down to the 1300 clutch disengagement, but less than when I had the release done yesterday. I am willing to bet it I wound the spring one more time to the stock setting this would be even less noticeable So I think ScottyUSN is right on target. When taking off the clutch engagement is at 1800. As I decelerate the disengagement is at 1300. I believe this is what's happening in the scenario that I was referring to initially as '1 Low'. When I am in first and need to make a tight turn, I ride the brake until about 10mph (1300 on the tach), it feels like a 'downshift' but this must simply be the clutch disengaging, then reengaging at higher RPMs to allow slow navigation. So I was always in first gear, simply the clutch was disengaging / reengaging. Sound right? So a last question to AE owners. If you come to a rolling stop, without braking, does the clutch still disengage and the bike come to a stop on its own? Or does it still require holding the brake to force the disengagement? And was this with the stock throttle setup or with the release done? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
