Finally got her back together, start, stops, idles, cools and drives geart under normal driving, spot on.
Seems to be slipping but only at higher RPM's (7-8k ish). This is of course under hard acceleration but only toward the end of the range for the gear...in other words it happens just about the time I'm ready to shift up.
It seems like the clutch would be most likely to slip when first engaged in a gear...not when I'm almost out of it and it's been pulling hard (and fully engaged).
Slipping clutch at 7k while under full throttle acceleration except 1st.
Handle bar shift is butter smooth, lever has about 3/8 to 1/2 in slack, shifts through all gears with no prob up and down, cable is smooth and free of hang ups.
If I roll out hard in 1st, no problem.
Speed shift into 2nd and just stays at 7k for a sec then slips all up to 8k, winding out but not speeding up but if i stay in it eventually feels like starts to bite and pulls while pegged at 8k.
If i roll through 1st to 5th normally AND briskly BUT NOT speed shifting, zero issues, rolled out nice and swiftly.
Is my clutch wearing out or is this something else?
Any ideas what cause may be? Using fresh 15w40 Rotella conventional oil.
Going to drop rear cable to shift lever cover, reset throw to 5/8 slack/travel but seriously dont think it will help.
