Today the clutch evolution is ready

It was a good decision to make this. I can move the
clutch lever with 2 fingers. Before I had to use all 4 fingers....
Test ride will follow (after the winter)

So, it's not anymore a ROTAX engine! Seriously, i think that the clutch is one of the most important default of this good engine, compared to Japanese or other European makes of this particular period.

Yes, the clutch is the "bad thing" of the Rotax engine.
I spoke to the german Rotax-Importer, and he told me:
"You will not wonder about the clutch if you know the
man who will build it. He was tall and strong like a bear
and had no problems with power to pull the clutch."
Unfortunately most of the people in the world will have
not so much power like this man....

But fortunately they make their evolution-program for
normal-build humans

Now on the christmas-holidays I give the Aprilia her place
for the winter-sleep:

Do you think that "normal humans" park their bikes like you Armin?

What is the bike on the other side of the picture?
Do you still have a contact with the German Rotax- Importer? We should be interested, for parts...

Ääämhh.....you know, parking is always a problem because you
need some room for (like in the great cities). And my garage is so
high that I think this is a good way to get the bike out of the way :rolleyes:
The other bike is the TransAma.
And contact to the german Rotax-Importer? I buy sometimes something,
but the best way it is with telephone or fax.....
Anyway, here is the homepage:

Sorry, I do not know....

But he is a friendly man, so you will find a way with him.
Anyway, when there is a problem you can tell me and I tell him.
