Default Clutch Problem?

Guys,

Could this be a clutch related issue (Dealer Thinks So). When cruising around, going about 60/70mph and lets say some 4 wheeler wants to see the V in action when I romp on it RPM’s will increase but the bike dose not go? Then it sound and feels like it releases and doses its thing. What do you think?

Sounds to me as though thefriction discsare worn out and/or the springs have been overheated and are weakened. Either way I think you need to replace the clutch assembly.

what type of oil are you running the wrong type of oil would make the clutch slip also if it is the clutch now would be the time to upgrade to the new slipper clutch
