I am in need of a little help on troubleshooting my problem on a 99 sp500. After about 10 minutes of riding, my bike will continue to move forward in a jerky motion and is hard to get in/out of gear. I checked the idle rpm's and pulled off the cover to make sure the clutch was disengaging all the way, it was. The one way bearing feels smooth but a little stiff.

If anyone has had this problem any help will be appreciated. Also an estimate on the cost of the bearing will help.

If you are talking about the drive clutch it is supposed to be a little stiff and have you checked you clutch alingment that could be your problem ? it was on my 99 500 sp

 

My Magnum did that EXACT same thing..... I fixed it by turning the idle down more... Now it slides into and out of gear easily..
