can somebody help me because i don't know if it's normal for the bike to run this way. my bike runs doesn't seem to be running okay because when i'm riding, i accelerate but it doesn't seem to really go anywhere. in 1st gear, the engine revs up to about 7k-8k rpm and only going 10-15mph. the same problem occurs for the 2nd and 3rd gear, low mph but high revs. it seems to accelerate faster sometimes when i let off the throttle a little. is this an actual mechanical issue on the throttle control or am i completely missing something?

 

slipping clutch ?

 

I agree, clutch.

 

you need to adjust your clutch or replace it.It sounds like some serious slippage.After running the bike, does it really smell hot or have a stinky odor?

 

The odor gets way worse when my girl rides on the back with her legs open

 

thanks! fixed the clutch and it runs real nice =] yeah, it smelled hot and ran really hot but fixed it.

 

They do make products to take care of that smell
