clutch taking it's time when I'm down on it

So when I'm getting down on it, taking off kinda hard, sometimes when I shift quick into 3rd or 4th (from a high RPM) the trans doesn't seem to engage immediately. It kinda sounds like it's slowly engaging quite a while after I shift.

Any ideas? Am I wearing out my clutch?

If not already done, this condition may often be corrected by performing routine clutch pushrod adjustment (not talking cable slack here ).

Good Luck!

Either that or your clutch is worn out.

If adjusting it don't work, take a look at the clutch plates.

Sounds like clutch plate replacement to me. However, the pressure plate springs may just be weak. I had a set of weak springs in my number 2 bike that replacing them fixed the problem. Z1 had springs. Your clutch cable may be breaking inside the housing causing enough restriction making the clutch release slowly. chris3
