Kirkie Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I have noticed in the last few days that I am struggling to get my R125 over 63mph and that is at 80,000 revs in top gear. I can usually get 73mph out of it. Is anyone else having or had a similar problem and can anyone think of what the problem may be before I get it checked out?

If you once got 73mph @8000rpn and now you get 63mph @ 8000rpm Then it is clutch slip!! Have you changed oil recently, full synthetic oil can cause this, or did you thrash it to death during its short life and wear it out? Make sure you have a few millimeters free play at the lever before it starts to pull on the cable, adjust as necessary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted October 6, 2008 Moderator Share Posted October 6, 2008 Think Oldgit is on the case here...... Does sound like a possible clutch issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkie Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 The bike is less than 6 months old so I have basically done not much to it. I checked the oil and it is still fine and as for the clutch it feels ok. I did find that on a few occasions when I started it it was very 'spluterry', but I put this down to the cold weather as it had been outside for several hours and it was 3am.....

Moderator Airhead Posted October 6, 2008 Moderator Share Posted October 6, 2008 and as for the clutch it feels ok. It may feel ok, Theres no different "Feel" even when its toast!! But the symptoms suggest fooked, or at least that an adjustment is needed either at the lever or if thats still got free play, then at the pushrod adjuster (If its got one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey*DTR Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 you could always try draining it out see if you can spot any "fibres" in the oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rf9rider Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 If the bike is less than 6 months old, take it back to where you got it from and have them look at it as it must still be under warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
