Default EV27 Noob Help

Hello All

I didn't feel comfortable installing my own cam so U left it at the shop to do...

Mechanic is adamant that it has been fitted properly and end play is within tolerances etc. To be honest I'm not sure if he's even measured it. Communication is not that easy coz I live in Malaysia, the mechanics first language isn't English (and mine is). He's the best mechanic I know of in town too

However as soon as I get it back there's major clutch slippage and mechanic says it's a simple case of a worn clutch lining and he doesn't have items in stock.to fix

Does the slippage sound related to excessive end play?

Cam end play has nothing to do with the clutch.

Have you tried doing a clutch adjustment?

Every body was new at one time or another.
There is no such thing as a dumb question.

Keep them coming and keep learning.

If the clutch feels great what makes you think the fibers or steels need replacing?
Have you taken the clutch hub apart and checked them out yet?

Used to work in KL, still got a bike there though (-96 FLSTN). There are a couple of decent shops in KL, probably not the case in Sabah.
