possible clutch issue
hey all, new to the forum.
So i was out riding my 1995 f3 all mad and manage to redline afew times and slip the clutch pretty hard at one point. a couple minutes after i noticed that i was going like 50 and hit the throttle and it just free revved higher, also at a stop i let the clutch out nearly all the way just to start moving.
I talked to a mechanically inclined buddy and he said that at 29k miles and not stunting often its premature that the clutch would go but the symptoms are there.
Any ideas, and recommendations for where to buy a new clutch and good brands, thanks

First check that the clutch is adjusted properly. There should be a 1/4 to 3/8ths
slack/take-up before you start to feel the pull of the clutch. If you don't have that
slack, the clutch may not be fully releasing.
If it IS the clutch, itself, get the manual, bone-up on the procedure and buy your
mechanical buddy some beer, for AFTER he helps you re-build it.
It's a little tricky, in spots, but over-all not too difficult a job. Also check the how-to
sections (both general and F3 specific) for some good explanations of doing it.
As far as the parts themselves, either Honda (OEM) or Barnett (after-market)
are probably your best bet. Just search on-line for the best price.
