replaced clutch cable...now this? was created by fizzer_$tfighter
I replaced my clutch cable last week, the next time I went riding I noticed that weren't I tried to get on the wick it would rev high like it was clutched, but no power, then drop back down and catch.
I thought maybe I had the cable to tight, loosened it up. Still doing it?

Engine oil type and weight being used? Read this:
Best Oils To Use In Your Bike (Just My Opinion)
Engine oil : The commercial grade oils are clearly superior to the mass market oils. For the best protection in your bike or car, use Shell Rotella Synthetic, available at Wal-Mart in blue containers . For the best petroleum oil you can buy, get Shell Rotella T, Mobil Delvac 1300, or Chevron Delo 400, available at any auto parts store. On the back of most oil cans is a circular stamp with the certification. Avoid oils that say "energy conserving" in the bottom half of the donut.
These oils contain friction modifier additives that could cause clutch slipping over time. The EPA mandated certain gas mileage, so the auto makers turned to the oil manufacturers who came up with friction modifiers of the oil to meet these new standards. All XXw-20 and XXw-30 oils are energy conserving, and should not be used in your motorcycle. Don't buy any oil additives like STP or Slick-50. Here's several listings on all about oil justifying these conclusions.
The Recommended Synthetic Oils :
Shell Rotella Synthetic
5w-40 Delvac 1 Synthetic
5w-40 AMSOil AMF Synthetic (pricey, but it’s your money)
10w-40 Golden Spectro Synthetic
10w-50 Motul 5100 Synthetic
10w-40 Mobil-1 Synthetic
15w-50 Mobil-1 MX4T Synthetic
The best synthetics are: (in no particular order)
Shell Rotella-T Synthetic 5w-40 (blue container is synthetic, not white which is dino), gallon at Wal-Mart.
Mobil Delvac-1 5w-40 (grey container is synthetic, not black which is dino), gallon at Petro stations, gallon at Farm and Fleet.
Mobil-1 SUV 5w-40, qt anywhere.
AMSOil AMF 10w-40 synthetic motorcycle oil. (again, pricey)
Golden Spectro Supreme, (no price).
Motul 5100 Ester, (no price).
Mobil-1 automotive oils all contain small amounts of moly - about 100 to 200 ppm. This can cause clutch slippage in some motorcycles. I've only heard of this being a problem in Honda Shadows.
The Recommended Petroleum Oils
Chevron Delo 400 15w-40
Delvac 1300 15w-40
Shell Rotella 15w-40
The best petroleum oils are: (in no particular order)
Chevron Delo 400 15w-40 (blue container) gallon at any auto parts store, gallons at Costco.
Mobil Delvac 1300 15w-40 (black container) gallon at any auto parts store, gallons at Sam's Club.
Shell Rotella-T 15w-40 (white container) gallon at Wal-Mart or any auto parts store, gallons at Sam's Club.
Castrol 15w-40 (Green container) gallon at Wal-Mart or any auto parts store, gallons at Sam’s club.
"Oil is Oil" is not the same for a motorcycle, as you have two clutches(the over running starting clutch, and the drive clutch) sensitive to "Car Oils" containing friction modifiers.
