The clutch had always slipped if I really got on it hard when shifting, doesn't now. Changed to 10W40 Valvoline MC oill, was using 20W50 synthetic MC oil. I also made 2 spacers for the springs about 2mm thick, putting them on opposite springs. I had them on all 4 but that made the clutch pull too hard. With two I barely notice the difference in pull. The tire hop is gone so all is good.

Even got myself fixed, had wrist surgery in January and it's slowly returning to something close to normal.

Been busy. Bike back to almost top form, just cosmetic damage most people wouldn't notice. Sold it at a swap meet. Liked the bike, but didn't like how hard it had to work for the type of riding I do. Went to the "dark" side, bought a low mileage 84 sportster XLX (1000 cc.) Point of interest, cost was very close to what I sold the CL77 for.
I do still have my CA77, so I haven't totally abandon the 305`s.
