Tony Hi Tony, I would guess the clutch is dragging. To cure this you have a few options :- 1) The Oil is of the incorrect grade or is totally worn out 2) The clutch basket is worn and the plates are not seperating fully (manual describes gauling) 3) The Cable is U/S 4) Clutch pull arm & release bearings are worn out due to oil starvation from the gallery behind the generator being blocked of from suffering from being 'made to soon' There could be other reasons for clutch drag but these are the normal ones. let us know how you get on Regards Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
