no tire thread, average clutch life instead?

That's why I suspected lever tension or oil to be the source of the problem.

Strange.....my clutch has 54,000 plus and never show.'s any issues. I had to replace the cable once and adjust it on the handlebar occasionally.

Make sure you're not using an oil with moly additives that could cause slippage. After confirming these things, then a clutch replacement MAY be in order. -Jeff Khoury ----- Original Message ----- From: "david zawadzki" < fordavidz@... > To: "mark ward" < nomad59@... > Cc: "List KLR" < DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Friday, June 1, 2012 5:44:32 AM Subject: Re: [DSN_KLR650] No tire thread, AVERAGE Clutch life instead? My 2007 klr has 10,000 miles on it. I ve noticed that sometimes when im in a gear a want to speed up (go from gear 3 to 4) i let go of the clutch andthe bike feels like it takes about 2 sconds to catch up. Is that my clutch or is it some carb adjustment issue? The bike was stolen and my back tire was worn out when the cops found it. Any ideas?
