anyone out there might know the cause of clutch slip when accelerating seems to be the only time it does this
its on a 99 yam 1100 bout 35000 km (22000 miles )
thinks there is some type of pressure plate with 6 fingers
like in a maual clutch car
when you pull the cover off and these might have lost tension
are we goin on the right track here
hes changed the oil recently so is gunna check that as to type but had no other probs with this on previous bikes using this oil
any help
The only reasons I can muster are:
Sitcking / mis-adjusted cable
Using oil that is not compatible with wet clutches (including additives)
weak / failing clutch springs
your clutch is worn out (with 22000 miles, this might actually be possible)
Sorry if this over-states the obvious, but I can't think of any other reasons for clutch slippage. I had a bike that used to slip only when the motor was real hot. That turned out to be just clutch springs. I fixed it for about $35 (US) with a new set of springs.
its not my bike but ill pass it on ta bkman
