What is your riding habit? The clutch is one of the weakest links and was
designed to just be engaged momentarily to change gears. For example
you should go to neutral at stop signs. By holding the clutch, they can
overheat, drag,  as well as cause cable stretch. That is why they gave us
the neutral finder so that we only have to use the weak link as little as possible.

Where did iyou put the electrics?

If you look really carefully, you can see them. I made a new, minimal, wiring loom.

Ice and Baird444:

I try to use the clutch as little as possible (always in neutral when waiting for traffic lights for instance), but going off road it is harder not to use the clutch a lot. I'll try to remember, thank you for the advice!

A short update on my Enfield:

I was growing really tired of the headlight bulb burning out pretty much every time I rode the bike, so I changed it for a high power led headlight (6$ from china, including housing. Good enough light (more powerful, but narrower beam) It has not failed in many, many miles).

I also had to repair and re-enforce the aluminum fenders. That's pretty much it, only other thing I did is some minor regular service.





It's getting some very, very heavy use. I take it to the single tracks in the woods a couple of times per week. It even gets some air time there....

All in all it is by far the most loved bike out of my collection of 4 bikes.

Those chinese lights are pretty awesome! bunch of my friends are using them and good results indeed! :)

Also found something which fits inside the Headlight console, powered by 20w LED.
