Well, unless I can adjust this thing to my liking I think I may need to doa clutch this summer. Will probably buy the disks and steel plates as well as springs and anything else you guys may think is necessary.

What is happening is that when I go to let of the clutch it slips as it should until I fully let off, however, when I give it gas it keeps slipping with no additional take off speeduntil I fully let off. I know it's kind of hard to describe, but when I go from a light, the bike will speed up the same amount if I am at 2k RPMs or 5k RPMs and then will take off once the clutch fully lets out. I know it wasn't like this last year. The other thing I noticed was thatengagement seems to be a lot more temperature dependent than it was even a month ago. (warm bike vs cold bike)

It is not slipping at all though once I let go of the lever, no matter what the speed or RPMs. Also, I am using Repsol MC oil and not anything made for cars that would cause slippage.

Anyway, what would you guys recommend for not a ton of money?

 

i got a really good set of racing low weigth clutch complete kit, springs plates gasket etc for 185 buks from bike bandit i also replace the basket but that was extra money on top of the kit in the kit you will use your old basket

 

try replacing ONLY the springs before you sink money into a full new clutch. Springs are like $16, and might solve your problem. Probably not, but it's worth a try for the springs and a gasket...

Barnett springs have always been recommended to me.

 

I'll give the springs a try when I get a chance. I tried adjusting the cable again before lunch with same results. When lever is let go, clutch doesn't slip at all and bike runs perfect. When clutch is pulled in ever so slightly bike moves about the same regardless of RPMs. It's like there is almost no modulation there.
