fyi - am a noob with bikes...have a 96 f3..so here goes
please tell me its just the clutch...

anyway...am on the freeway doing freeway speeds this past sat eve...
all of a sudden i notice when i twist the throttle...my engine responds (rpms) but im going nowhere...
matter of fact im actually slowing down..
i pull over to the side of the freeway....bike is still running, but wont move..
i even let out the clutch in 1st gear...the bike is still freakin running. i turn off/on the engine...starts smoothly
but still wont go anywhere...engine just revs!!!
From what I've been reading, this could be a clutch (fingers crossed) or a tranny (dear god, no!!) problem...

just want to get some input from you guys....if therez any additional info you need...ask & i will try to provide...

thanks in advance

 

Can you get it to move at all?

 

no...the only way i can get it to move is by pushing..lol
it wont move on its own regardless what gear its in.....

 

Id check the clutch cable and clutch free play first.

 

yea..did that still nothing...
but am assuming it sounds more & more like IT IS NOT the tranny, right?
what signs would be evident if it was indeed the tranny?

i just dont want to replace/fix the cluth if that aint what it is...

 

Give your local bike shop a call and I am sure they can give you some assistance.

 

I think your SOL on this one then. Sounds like the motor will have to be pulled. If the clutch was just slipping then it should still move but your isn't moving at all.
