Ttaskmaster Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Fix it. Seriously, fix it. For further, bettter, more polite and helpful info, here's the best suggestion ever: What you've just done is pretty damn rude. When you walk into a Forum, especially a close-knit one like this, it is the equivalent of walking into a random pub. If you just stand there and make a statement, expecting assistance, no-one will even pay attention to you. Seriously, try this - Walk into a pub you've never been to, where no-one knows you. Just walk in and, in a loud voice, ask that very same question you just asked here. See what happens.... If you take the time to introduce yourself, make friends etc, then people will fall over backwards to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoughMade Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 How many miles are on it? How many of those did you put on? (helpful to know maintenance history) Does this bike have a shared sump with the engine, trans. and clutch? if so, what oil has been used in it? Is there sufficient slack in the clutch cable when it is not pulled in? Has the clutch itself been adjusted recently? It could simply be the need for a new clutch, but let's look at the simple stuff first....and Welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoughMade Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 If rock oil is motorcycle oil and everything is in adjustment, sounds like time for a new clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttaskmaster Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 PartFinder Breakers yards (if PartFinder doesn't help). eBay. Any of the many online bike part finders - seriously, just Google up "motorcycle part finder". You'll get .com, .co.uk, .org, .this, .that, MCparts, Motorcycleparts, Mcycleparts and a myriad variants therein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
