Unhappy Slipping on hard launch.
Hi, just put a big back wheel conversion on my 1991 Heritage Softtail, 200 wheel and tyre, swing arm, 1" spacer etc. Any pull away harder than normal causes a notchy slip, not smooth like clutch but notchy like compensating sprocket. I'm sure it isn't as everything measures correctly. It's not the belt and it didn't do it before. Anyone experienced anything like this?
