Is it a relatively easy task to change my clutch which has begun slipping. Is there an adjustment or a burnt clutch. Happened while climbing a very steep incline of half a mile which was rather slippery.
slipping the following day on way home through all the gears!!!Are you certain that it wasn't rear wheel slipping (loss of traction)?Clutch slipping is often first noticed when the load is high -- 5th gear, wide-open-throttle, and good traction.
IMHO the release is all regulated by the spring tension. The springs could be bad, but…. BTW you may want new springs too just to make sure.Have downloaded a manual and will give it a bash, have put a couple bikes back together, will check the price out here tomorrow and might have to look at bringing one in. Just seems a bit soft to have lost the clutch like that. Could there perhaps be a problem with the clutch release cylinder?? In all my years of biking never had a clutch problem besides a snapped cable and have given some of my bikes clutches a good workout in the past.
