I thought I had pictures as well I guess they didn't go through. They should be attached to this and I took some more of the exhaust and labels as well. It's dark now but you can see pretty well still. I was trying to show in what throttle position the issue occurred; in hindsight not the most...

So my bike runs really well except at 1/4 throttle. While riding if I hold at quarter throttle it shudders badly and barely keeps speed. And while sitting still I have to roll on the throttle gently to get it to rev, otherwise it cuts out like in the video. I tried adjusting the idle mixture...

https://ibb.co/bC1Rb7 Well, the one on the left is the new one, right is the old one. I think it's safe to say the springs are worn out. Replaced the friction plates for good measure and it really pulls now. No slip at all. Thanks guys.

Ill check that. I'm getting new springs as well as plates so that should be fine.

So my clutch is slipping. It's still rideable but I have to be pretty easy on the gas to keep it from slipping. I've adjusted the lever so there's 2-3mm of play and it's got good oil in it. Could it be anything else besides worn plates? Just asking before I go buy a set. Also do I need to get...

They were on the bike when I got them. When I got the bike about a month ago it wasn't having this problem so I'd think the jetting is/was okay.

Got her running and she starts with one kick but there's a weird hissing sort of sound. I have to feather the throttle to get any rpm increase and if I don't do it gently enough it does what's in the video. Sounds kind of like an air leak? When the bike's off and I let the throttle go to snap...

I want to have the triangle where the battery currently sits completely clear of "stuff". The wiring I can run along the seat and tubes and such but where do people put the battery? I've seen plenty of build with that space open that are still electric start so they're not just getting rid of...

Tightened the clip and relocated it to the little shelf and no more slipping! Thanks guys.

Thanks guys, seems like that would be the problem. As soon as it stops raining (florida is fun) I'll tighten it up and see how she runs.

It seems like the starter motor is slipping. It will turn over initially but as soon as it begins to fire up it slips and stops turning. Any ideas what it could be?

Yeah that's why I said something similar. That ones a custom that you can't even buy. I'm just looking for something similar in form and feel. Not even worried about the color or anything atm.

I'm brand new to actual motorcycles. I've build motorized bikes and go karts and the like so I'm familiar with small engines and riding a "motorcycle" (even if it's just a little baby) but still new to motorcycles. I'm looking into buying one and have pretty much settled on a street tracker...
