Sign of bad clutch? 11 Nov 2005 15:00 #7803

DanOz7Five0 Topic Author Offline User Posts: 347 Thank you received: 0	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?

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.

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.
