New clutch in and rollin!
Solved the slip problem and feels great. Followed some vids on youtube by nightflyer12345, awesome by the way. The clutch must have been a little sticky because it wouldn't kick into gear without stalling. I bomb started it and that solved that problem.
Thanks to...
Thanks XS! I've got some new plates, springs and drives on the way. A bit of lubrication was needed and straitened the elbow feels a lot better for cable friction.
Thanks for the tips can't wait to open it up and see what's inside. Let you know how she goes.
Hey XS!
I've got a (new to me) 1979 xs650 special. I took it out for a spin the other day and when I accelerate quickly the clutch is slipping.
What would you suggest replacing? plates, springs, drive plates, etc?
What are your thoughts?
