I have an 82 xs650sj.my first motor cycles and i love it.Had a few problems, but thanks to this web site and all the wealth of knowlage, this has been a great adventure.
anyways on to this problem.
the bike runs good.I pretty sure all my clutch adjustments..worm,perch and cable are in good standing.
from a stop the bike pulls good through 1st 2nd and most of the way through 3rd untill i get to around 5000 rpms.the clutch begains to slip.NOW I'M REALY GETTING INTO THE THROTEL.the slipping countinues through 4th then when i shift to 5th it stos sliping.I can feel the clutchs grab.
I'm useing 20/50 oil.I have owned the bike for two years,had cleand up the carbs this winter and replaced a torn diaphram.Never known the bike had that much top end rpm power.
never had the clutch apart but that doesnt mean that somone else hasent.
IT ALMOSTFEELS LIKE A POWER BAND THAT IS MORE COMIN IN 2 STROKES IS THIS RIGHT OR IS MY CLUTCH SLIPPING
