So I have about 30 hours total, I ride trails and 14 tooth.. need to clutch a lot in order not to stall..
That said, the clutch is now slipping. I tried adjusting the lever a bit and no luck. Can you believe this at all? I was told it is not covered under warranty but I seriously think this is bs... 30 hours should not be enough to wear a clutch out.
The tech said sometimes when a new clutch goes through excessive wear a "glaze" is formed.. something about not soaking up enough oil.. but my bike has been sitting for 5 months. Maybe it is ride time to heat up and soak in oil.
Also, one thing I can also do is switch gears without engaging the clutch. I never do this but still was very easy.
Am I driving this thing wrong or something? I really dont drive hard.. I have been in a lot of mud and engaged the clutch a lot, but no more than my last bike.
So, If I do need to replace the clutch and its not warrantied, what should I replace with so this NEVER happens again in 30 hours of use.
Also the tech said 5 hour job plus parts!!! way to expensive.. .I will have to dig in myself.
Help!
