no.

 

[:@]sorry. unintentional bump...

 

I would replace the clutch. I use to be able to tell when I couldnt power wheelie anymore. Just make sure you soak your friction plates overnight before putting them in. Also make sure you tighten everything to the correct torque spec. Its a really easy job, and your bike gets some new oil too. Win Win situation.

 

Not disagreeing about your need for replacement, but a couple of things to do (actually just one, but..) Do an Oil change, make sure the motor is at running temp, check the old oil for any debris which will look likes bits of fibrous material (& old cardboard) suspended in the oil, a sure indicator your clutch is RS.
If no crap in your oil, it may be the old oil was passed it & the new stuff may fix your problem.

 

if the clutch was just abnormaly hot it could be doing that... try it again. get on the freeway cruise at mif to high rpm and pin it.. if it slips change it if it doesnt dont.. sometimes whne the clutch just gets hot... itll be very soft.

 

quit reviving dead posts.

 

Fly did it on accident i think, but others sure chimed in quick without checking the date. Anyhow POST IS DEAD NOW.

 

Those springs alone were the only parts out of spec when I replaced my clutch in the F4i this summer. And it makes good sence, low spring pressure can cause slippage. I't not too hard of a tear down, so if you can afford the down time, I'd take apart the clutch parts and spec them to see what is and isnt in tollerance, then order ur new parts

Edit: damnit, didn't see this was a thread of the past!
