LowRyter Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 I know when I am riding aggressively and upshift from 3rd to 4th that it kind of sticks & lurches. Just a slight delay and jerk. don't know why it does it. sorta fun too. dont want to hurt it That sounds like a fueling issue. +1 - Perhaps a good indication for a thorough tune-up (valve adjustment, plugs, TPS/ idle set, throttle body balance). Worth a try! the clutch us just grabby on the disengagement when I goose it.
thumper Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 I had somthing like that on mine. Turned out to be the clutch friction material came loose at the rivits on the plate. It would also at a stop in first gear when starting out it would enguage, slip, then enguage again. This is a known problem on the earlier bikes most have been replaced. Mine went out @ 14000 mi.
docc Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 True, my Sport lost a rear engine seal at 4000 miles and oiled the clutch - new seal, clutch and pressure plate under warranty. Yet, it was really easy to see/hear/feel the engine over-rev as the clutch slipped. Certainly, your description that "the engine revs up quicker than the driveshaft can respond" does smack of a slippy clutch from a bad seal. I understand there are three: the typical rear engine, front gearbox, but also a small seal for the clutch actuator. No drip from the bottom of the bell housing?
thumper Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 doug m, just wondering if you solved your bikes problem and if so what was it?
