so there is little to no actual "slipping" on my clutch. I have the standard 10-20 mm wiggle room in the lever, then after i hit tension from the cable, i get MAYBE 1/4 inch of pulling before my clutch is completely disengaged.

I have been working on wheelies lately (in a lot, wearing gear, so please don't turn this into a flame fest) so i think i may be wearing on the clutch, but it does NOT slip under hard power acceleration.

and my bike has just under 11k on it. so my question is, is it more likely my clutch thats going or my cable stretching? and is there a way to test either?

 

Could be both, I would adjust the tension of the clutch first and if doesn't slip. You probably will need to replace your clutch.

 

yup, if its just started this recently I would say youre clutch is worn and getting ready to go out. although, 11k is very low mileage on the clutch, if you been burning the clutch ALOT trying wheelies and other stuff, I guess its time.

 

The thing is that i really haven'tbeaten on the clutch. i have only ever driven standard vehicles so its not like i don't know what i'm doing. i haven't been doing wheelies alot either. I just hope it takes me through the end of the season. i can changeit over the winter
