Hey Guys,
Does anyone else have this problem? When I am in 5th gear, if I attempt to accelerate hard at all, the clutch just slips and the engine quickly jumps to red. There is still some resistance there, it's not quite the same as if I let the clutch in and did it, but it's bad. This only started within the past 1000 miles or so. Please tell me there is an easy fix for this...
Thanks,
Adam :carryflag
Additional Info: 85' VN700, about 18,500 miles, running on Shell Syn. Rot. T. Bike is in excellent condition inside and out, including fresh engine oil, syn. gear oil, moly spline lube, coolant, plugs, filters, sealed battery, tires, etc. etc. etc. This bike has been under my care for the last 4,200 miles, since May of 2006.
