My 2009 NT seems to have a slight clutch issue. When I take off slowly it seems ok. When I get on it a little from a stop it seems like the clutch engages as I take off, and then fully engages after the clutch lever is already released. Lke after I have shifted and the clutch lever is all the way out, it seems to engage, but then a second or so later it grabs more fully. Almost as if it was slipping a little, and then fully grabbed.

Any ideas? I am taking it to the dealer tomorrow. I have a service manual but the directions to adjust the clutch looked Greek to me.

 

Maybe you should have requested a service manual in English?? Just kidding. Make sure you have at least a 1/16" free play in the clutch lever. (Grab the outer cover near where it goes into the leaver. Should shake back and forth 1/16-3/16". If that’s OK since the manual looks Greek better take it to the dealer. My bet is if you are nailing it a little hard with the clutch you are filling the slight bump in the compensator on the engine end of the primary chain. It basically wraps around slightly and then unwraps to take some of the jolt off the transmission and drive train to keep you from braking things before the warranty runs out.

 

Could you possibly be mistaking a little tire spin for a clutch problem?

 

I had a weird thing like that happen to me ,and my drive belt was jumping one tooth on the tyranny pully...my belt was cold and just a little loose ,not sloppy at all.
when she warmed up it didn't do that.
I pinned down one morning when the bike wasn't warm yet(drive belt)took it back to my garage and tightened it and hasn't done it since
