So after a 27mpg tank, I have been P&Ging a lot more, getting used to bump starting the slipper clutch, but the whole thing is starting to slip so hoping my kevlar gets here soon, stupid store didn't actually have a new clutch spring.

A couple observations:
This thing is a LOT of fun to pulse.

It glides better than any other bike I've owned with the clutch in (yes I see the oiling diagram that has the transmission shafts fed by the pump). Heavy. I wonder if only half the plates are dragging because of the slipper sprag.

My left hand hurts.

Also the tires were low so I pumped them up to 35/40.
