Re: throttle sensor adjustment
Anita Reid
It's a special tool, I think best would be to ask a Kawasaki Dealer or mechanic and the standard he is not 100% sure about it either. I would call up a Kawasaki mechanic and ask for advice on the standard.

As a point of drivel info---the Indian was popular with cops because the left throttle allowed them to fire their guns right-handed.? The rocker clutch was also on the left as on Hardley.which had a left shift

NWC: The Art of the Motorcycle book

across used copies in good condition of The Art of the Motorcycle, from the

Re: W650 Leather Custom Seat
Hey John! I'm thinking you might get more interested folks if you posted a
picture. Right now we don't know if it's shaped exactly the same as the stock one, but in leather, or if it's a button-pleated highback '70's seat in purple-dyed leather. If you need help posting pictures or uploading them to the Photos section of our website, please don't hesitate to ask. We have lots of people ready to help. Oh yeah, we're also an international group, might want to mention where you are, those could be Canadian, Australian, or USA dollars. Shipping can be a deal-maker.

Re: Henderson
To operate the hand shift..

Show quoted text
You start the bike by kicking it through, control grip opposite the throttle, operated in a similer way as the throttle..retard to start, then advance as you pick up speed..cars and bikes advance automatically now of course. While pressing down on the clutch with your left foot, you would select first by pushing the gear shift forward with your hand, the lever was on one side of the tank (Harley, I believe, had a left hand shift, right hand throttle, Indian..a right hand shift, left hand throttle..anyway, I would remember better had I ever operated one, but I only read about it..and thought the foot clutch thing was a stupid idea, so I really didn't retain the info all that well). Each of the successive gears was selected by pulling the lever back..most had three..some had a reverse as side cars were very common then. James Franklin 2411 Pine Summit DR.

Re: Henderson
The hand operated advance/retard lever was common on Brit bikes before the development of the spring loaded auto-advance mechanism. You set it retarded for starting, minimising kick-backs and ensuring a slow, lazy tick-over from cold, and advanced it for fast running. You could also retard the ignition to slog up hills, which was ideal if you were pulling a chair with the family on board!

Re: Henderson
Most of the early motorcycles had them, at least early American motorcycles..my book on American motorcycles features over 100 makes..I left it at my brothers house where I cannot look at it right now, but I do remember seeing the foot clutch/hand shift on many of them..I think technically, it has to be the spring loaded foot clutch and not the "see-saw" type to be an actual suicide clutch, but having a foot operated clutch on a motorcycle doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

We didn't start getting hand clutch/foot shift in USA made motorcycles until after WWII. The HDs made under license by a Japanese company made the change before the licensor ever considered it, and the original Springfield Indian (which owned Henderson) went to its grave with foot clutches. Suicide shifts were the spring loaded foot clutch, hand shift guys. James Franklin 2411 Pine Summit DR.

Connect the throttle sensor setting adapter between the sensor wire connectors. start engine operate engine at idle speed loosen sensor mounting screws adjust sensor mounting position to set the sensor output voltage to standard and tighten the mounting screws. He actually only adjusted my throttle not the sensor. james wrote:
