I think it might be a clutch problem, but when i rev i cant get the bike to move at alll as fast as it did. It takes soo long to reach a highspeed, and when i do then it suddenly kicks in and i get thrown back. What can be wrong and wut do i do to fix it.

to me it sounds like a clutch problem... the clutch might be grabbing too early or your springs are broken... I had the same problem... just take the clutch bell off and check it out

is this a stock clutch or 2 shoe

Drg50B · 07-08-2006, 12:06 PM

This is a stock clutch, 3 shoes all adjustable. Do you think i should tighten a bit or loosen a bit.

mine would just rev up and not move i then loosend mine and it started to come back and then later on fully ajusted it and it went great

the tighter you tension the springs the more rpm's it takes to engage the looser you tension the springs the sooner the clutch will engage so tighten up the springs.

u said to loosen them it will engage faster why tighten them when it doesnt go anywhere right now?

inthelead83 · 07-08-2006, 03:32 PM

i didnt read it right, yeah loosen the springs

does the engine bog out when you open her up?? if it does then they are too early if it kicks you off right now that what I would think... but then what do I think

K i've loosened and its worked for the 1st starting run. It moved me quick like normal, i turned around and i wud rip the throttle, and it would just be really slow and not reach top speed. I loosened again it worked again the first time but then it stopped again, so im a little confused. The shoes look like they're gettin a little worn out, but i don't know what i should try now, like tighten it all back up. Could it be another problem, cuz on the stand the bike revs up and when it does its a quick rev cloud of smoke and tire spins and wut seems to be slippage which causes the jump and falling of the reving. When its on the ground, if i plant my feet firmly it doesn,t even move, and when driving it struggles to go, takes forever to reach a high speed, then occasiionally kicks in. Nething else it could be. Also i'd like to thank everyone with the quick helpful responses, I really appreciate the help everyone.
