Sign of bad clutch? was created by DanOz7Five0
Are there any signs of a bad clutch? I really have to ride the clutch lately in order to get a start. Other than that though it never slips on me. Or do I need to play with my cable adjustment some more?

If it slips try a little more free play in the lever cable. If this does not help take a good look at the oil you are using. Last resort; check clutch plates.

Ride the clutch to get a start? Doesn't sound like a clutch problem. Look elsewhere. Lack of low end power, could be anything. Tell us more about it.

Ok here goes.
I have to rev it up more than I used to and then let the clutch out slowly while keeping it revved up. If I dont do this the bike just doesnt want to get going until about 2000 rpms, then she runs great.
Today was #50 for me taking it to work (yes I keep track) so now with the cold and working 2 jobs Im ready to put it away, especially when Im having issues like this.
