Greetings all,
I recently acquired a '95 GS and have been spending some time sorting it out. This evening, while trying to loosen the locknut on the clutch cable adjustment, I had the socket separate from the ratchet handle. It landed on top of the swingarm but when I tired to retrieve it, it rolled forward and disappeared into the abyss! I spent over an hour trying to reach into the space in front of the swingarm pivot and I even lay the bike over on it's side but to no avail.
Anyone else ever had a similar situation?? If so, how did you find what was dropped into this area? I'm suspecting I may be tearing this bike down in the future as the clutch is slipping; however, I'd really like to try adjusting the cable to specs first.
Regards,
