T35 gear sequence
« on: 05 Mar 2018 at 01:17 »
Hi peoples,
I just acquired t35 which I know nothing about.
It started 2nd kick yesterday , blew a little smoke than sat and purred for 5 mins.
I selected the first gear I found while on centre stand and it was fine.
I returned it to a neutral than dropped it off centre stand. With both wheels on the ground it didn't want to go into any gear.
The clutch feels ok to me but may not be as I'm not sure how this clutch is suppose to feel.
I'd like to know how many gears and in what sequence do they run?
Also this is a dry clutch right ?
I'm selling this bike ASAP as I'm not that interest in it and rather have some cash for my two little rug rats. It's in great condition . If anyone is interested email me on adamplooy@gmail.com

Thanks for that . Sorry for the late reply.
Any ideas for easy way of freeing up the clutch. It hasn't been ridden for a while I assume.

Depends how long its been sat, if only a relatively short time try pulling clutch lever and using kickstart, should free off clutch, if longer then put bike into top gear and with clutch pulled in rock bike backwards and forwards.if your bike has an ignition switch wired in probably best to do above with it turned off, otherwise I would suggest disconnecting ht leads from caps to prevent bike from starting,

....And if you're going to do that then take the plugs out to make it easier on your kicking leg.

but make sure you leave the plugs laying on the heads so the mag doesn't try to produce too large a spark , as that could track across the windings and wreck the mag. Sadly, Lucas mags, unlike BTH, don't have safety gap screws to prevent this kind of damage.

didnt suggest taking plugs out to give more resistance when clutch tries to rotate engine and a better chance to overcome  "stiction" and free clutch.
