So I have been bringing back to life a 73 R60/5 with 32000 miles on it.
Striped it all down to bare frame to paint frame. Rebuilt forks. Cleaned and greased all bearings. Went through all wires and connection. New tires and tubes, new transmission input seal. Etc. To many to list.
So far I have put about 80 miles on it in the last 3 months. I really enjoy riding it.
Last night I put new plugs and synched the carbs, today I Rode about 45 min local, no highway. It felt like clutch was slipping compared to previous rides. Had to push rpms pass 4k to get enough speed to pop the second gear. By the way going from 1st to 2nd gear it makes a loud clunk.
As I was pulling in my driveway, I hear a snap coming from down low and the clutch lever got really loose. Freeplay off clutch lever is about an 3/4 inch now. The "snap" was loud and it sounded like a pice of metal breaking.
With engine off I put it on first gear and start back an forth. The clutch does engage and disengage.
After about 3 hours later the trans is warmer to the touch compared to the rest of the engine.
What would that snap indicate? Anyone else has had this condition
