My byou finally got running after I rebuilt the carb. I took it for a trail ride, and finished by riding her pretty hard up a dirt hill. At the peak of the hill it dropped out of gear, and had to be pushed home. It will still start, and idle. When I apply throttle it revs really high, and no matter what gear it is put into, it will rev high and take a few moments after i release the throttle to wine down.

I have pulled the clutches out, and it does appear the centrifugal clutch is worn. I took the dremel to it, and tried to get some relief lines back in there.

Before I reassemble and test, does anyone know if this is even a clutch issue? or possibly transmission/case related.

 

Centrifugal clutches work fine until the end of the shoes wear to the metal. However Kawasakis have a tendency to "glaze" the shoes and clutch plates, so go over shoes, drum and the plates in the other clutch, with coarse emery, just taking the shine off them.
