Hi everyone,
As the title implies, I’m a new rider who purchased an 83’ XS650. I like cafe racers and the price was good. It’s a sexy looking bike, buuuut it needs some work.
Currently the big issue is the clutch/transmission. When the bike gets hot from riding the gears start to stick, where I need to use all my strength to shift. I know that’s not normal or good. At this point the bike will also start to creep in first.
I have someone telling me the clutch plates are shot. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
