[QUOTE="Wingjon, post: 516805, member: 13441"] I just returned from a great ride over part of the North Cascade Hwy. (north of Seattle) That's the good news. The bad news is that when I attempted to roll on enough throttle to pass a car at 60 mph or so, the clutch slips badly. First time this has happened, but it continued through the ride. The bike is an '06 FJR with just over 20,000 miles. It has not been ridden hard (since I bought it with 3,000 miles two years ago); no drag race starts and no power shifts. The oil has been changed with reasonable regularity and now has Motul semi-synthetic in it that is ready to be changed. The engagement point on the clutch lever is almost all the way released where it used to be close to the bar. Is it reasonable to suspect that the clutch is toast with this low mileage? Has anyone else experienced this? I would appreciate any insight available. Jon [/QUOTE]
