Hey guys, my xs started doing this last season but i've learned to live with it...now i'm starting to wonder what I can do to fix it.
The clutch engages fine and normal from a stop and going into 2nd gear...but going into 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear the clutch does not engage until the end of the stroke. If am riding it hard and shifting at higher rpm's it seems to slip right into gear...but if I am riding normal and shifting at lower rpm's it almost feels as if my chain has slack in it that jerks up when you hit the gas.
Dunno if any of this makes sense, but i'm wondering if its more likely a clutch issue, or a gear issue...anyways, any hints would help
Thanks!
