Summer is here and the daytime temperatures are going up. Brief history: purchased the bike last year, after a local shop checked it out for me I started riding just after the holidays. I have put over 1000 miles on her in 6 months, almost ready to turn to 10,000 miles on the odometer. I took surface streets to my destination and I think that I hit every single red light. On the way back home the clutch became sticky or grabby in the friction zone in first gear. This was a 20 mile round trip, about 45 minutes one way. Is this something normal, I hope not, clutch cable or clutch itself problem? Otherwise the friction zone is ok for a 45 year old bike.
I was just riding a new Honda rebel in my certification class, although I mostly rode in 2nd gear, the clutch was nice and smooth. Oh and I passed, now a trip to my local DMV to get an “M” on my driver’s license.
